At the Beach

Oh yeah! Summer and the beach, what a better way to spend this season huh? I know that the heat of the sun is a scorcher but, we have a shade and that makes a difference. Hubby and I had no plans going to beach but, since it is just 20 minutes drive, who needs planning right? If we feel like it, we grab our beach chairs, some cold drinks and snacks ... bammm ... we are heading to Cocoa Beach or Satellite Beach. How about you?

On Miami Beach

This is Miami Beach and I would say, the water is really beautiful. I like it when the crowd is not overwhelming. This beach is one of the most crowded beaches in the States. Tourists flocked Miami Beach because of the clear blue water and the white sandy beaches. This is a typical Friday afternoon. There are people but, not crowded which is really nice to hang out. The weather is tolerable since it was almost sundown.

On A Clear Sky

On a clear sky, the beach is calm and inviting. I can't blame people loves to purchase a house in the coastal area. When we live in Mississippi in the city of Ocean Springs, there was a big house which was currently renovated and most of the materials they used were from huge boulders and granite with thick steels. It suffered bigtime damage during Hurricane Katrina.It would be nice to wake up in the morning with the view of the beach. Then, watch the sunset in the evening, that would be nice huh?The only disadvantage about living near the beach is the hurricanes. It can really wipe out huge building and when nature roars, everything on it's way will be gone!

It is still good to live far from the beach. We can always go for swimming anytime we wanted to.

Destin Beach

I had a grand time yesterday when we visited the beach of Destin, Florida. Though I really wanted to swim because the water was so inviting, the heat of the sun was a scorcher. It was hot and humid with 92 degrees and we decided to transfer to the next beach resort.

The building behind me is where the Harbor Walk Village located and that is the majestic Emerald Grande in Destin, Florida. It is a condominium and if you live in that building, you have free access of the boating priviledge in the harbor.After we took a couple of pictures in the vicinity of that building, we move in this area across the bridge. This is a public area, FREE for everyone who wanted to enjoy the clear blue water.
So, we transfer to the next beach resort which is for Military family only. It is exclusive for military members but since my husband was retired in the Army, the guard let us in anyway. The parking fee is only $2. You will see this sign on the right side once you arrived Destin of course. It is the next tourist destination from Fort Walton, Florida.
The white sand is clean and free from the oil spill yet. It was known during this time that the oil spill has reach Alabama state. In 48 hours, it is believed that the oil spill will move fast towards this area. So sad to wait in great desparation, huh?
Blue sky and crystal water, what more can you ask? This is what you will enjoy in Destin, Florida. Oh by the way, even though you see the blue sky, the day before was a crazy weather. Florida is a sunshine state but the weather changes every five minutes :) Enjoy your stay!
