Is Blue Mountain Beach as nice and wide as Grayton Beach?

New posts
May I suggest Sea Bluffs. Front unit 2BR, 2 Bath 1/4 bath. Sleeper couch.VRBO (850)267-3709. Other units available through Dune Allen and Resortquest. 19 townhomes right on the beach. Some might consider it a drawback but I don't. It is the highest point on the gulf between Appalachicola and Pensacola, so there is a lovely walkover with seats at the top available to get down on the beach. These are older units but quite nice and cheaper than most others right on the beach. Grayton beach is fine but to my way of thinking, it is a long tough walk to the water compared to Blue Mt. Beach but then I'm biased.

Mrs. Flowers at Seagrove Villas always told me that was the highest point on the gulf!!

You went to Angelo's Steak Pit and yes it was horrible. The 50 foot steer in the parking lot is a good hint. ;-)

It's quiet unless one of the retreats is hosting delinquents (read weekly turn over) and making them march to the beach with drums, bull horns, and cymbals. It's a real hoot at 6 am.

Careful shopping, not all deals are created equal.

This is exactly what I'll do with any one of my girlfriends who (1) gets the crying drunks (2) mentions missing her husband or kids more than once (3) wears eyeshadow to the beach (4) suggests we try to find a Friday's or Applebee's.

It's only 69 steps to the beach! :biggrin:
 
Some free to inexpensive activities you might want to look into in addition to just enjoying visiting or reading on the beach might include:

*Tour Eden State Gardens in Pt. Washington ($3 a car load, I think)(Wesley House extra, but not much -- second largest Louis XVI collection, one of oldest homes in SoWal)
*Depending on where you are staying, Walk a few miles along the bike trail adjacent to Scenic 30A and some of our famed Coastal Dune Lakes. You could try to visit as many of the Coastal Dune Lakes as possible and name them in order from east to west, or west to east.
*Sunset, Sunrise (Remember to not take glass for your evening toast!)
*Window Shop, But buy something that strikes you
*Check Out Menu Specials along 30A (Did I see that Cafe 30A had a dinner special from 5 - 6 p.m.?)
*Coastal Branch Library has Free Art Display
*Ogden Gallery at WaterColor, see there ad here on SoWal
*Seaside and Rosemary Beach also have art and shops
*Alys Beach, enjoy architecture and environment
*Enjoy an evening out with entertainment in a number of venues. How much you spend on refreshments will be up to you. Often, there is no cover charge to get in.
*Pack a lunch, eat on the beach.
*Read about all kinds of activities on SoWal. Our beaches, environment and history are unique and exceptional.
*Does anyone in your group like to fish? If you are from Florida, you can fish from shore at the Gulf for free. Get a a license, otherwise. Bring your own pole or Yellowfin has some inexpensive rods (to More if needed.)
*Walking on the Beach. Free and makes you look and feel good.
*Sitting on the Beach. This can be free, bring your own towel or chair.


I could go on, but someone else can add to the list if they like.
