Florida Gulf

We departed John Prince park on Tuesday.... a big thanks to George & Irene for being tour guides.

 After a overnight stop at Ocala we are now at Topsail State Park near Destin. Wow, this is the Mercedes of state parks....paved pads, 50 amp full hook-ups, lovely landscaping, even cable TV. We're told this used to be a luxuy RV resort; now a state park, the Crown Jewel of the Emerald Coast.  This area is famed for sparkling white sand and beautiful, clear green water.


This afternoon we biked 3.5 miles on Hwy 30A which goes into Santa Rosa Beach  The road has a wonderful bike/walk path; it was great to see the beach homes, sand, etc. We lunched on fresh seafood at the Smiling Fish, great choice, great food. Adjacent is The Artist's at Gulf Place a group of huts with original art.   artistsatgulfplace.com   A lovely afternoon!

    Looks like the area has developed further since we were there. Don't remember the bike trail you mention. Restaurant and artist area are new to us as well. Love to see good food, and the white sand beach.
