One of the reasons we came to the Florida Panhandle was to enjoy my favorite food groups—crab, shrimp and oysters. We were quick to learn, there is an endless supply of all of the above.

In addition to purchasing all sorts of seafood to cook in our room, we stumbled upon a local treasure—Pier 77—a wonderful place that served all matter of local seafood delicacies. Indeed we were probably the only folks there without Southern accents (not to mention Auburn t-shirts and hats).

So far, the main negative is the deadly traffic on and around the beachfront area that crawls at about .5 miles an hour after sunset. It could be just because it’s a holiday weekend and today everyone will return to their homes in Alabama and Georgia.
