Best Route to Seagrove Beach from I-65?

[TreeFrog]

Be careful if you go through Brantley. It is, ahem, getting to be a bit of a speed trap. Don't ask how I know this...

And just to reinforce this point, I went (watchfully and slow) through Brantley yesterday on my way up 331. There were two, count 'em, radar units out. Tiny burg like that, I woulda thought they could only afford one. Must be getting a good return on them!

Hopefully with the returns they are getting on these operations the State can send me my income tax refund one of these days.

If this route has not been mentioned yet: Travel south of Montgomery on 65. Take the Letohatchee Davenport exit. Left over interstate (97 I believe). At HWY 31 go north for just a moment. Then 97 turns back south. Meets up with 331 south of Highland Home. Then can take 331 all the way to 98 or continue on the road less traveled as discussed prior on this thread through Perry Store, Samson, Kinston down to DeFuniak Springs. There is one tricky turn that route - be sure you have a map.

Good route; we've been using this one for about 15 years; Annie's in Luverne is a good stop for lunch or dinner.

Love this post. Daughter has a friend coming from Nashville to meet us. Great advice.

Route to new PCB airport from Memphis

This is the route that I used to take a few years ago until I discovered the Georgiana route. I'm coming down on Friday and think I may try this again.

Hi Margarita!I've been searching posts for the best route to the new PCB airport from Memphis, and was wondering which way you went from Montgomery the last time..

And if anyone else has an easy way to get to the airport, I would surely appreciate it!

The rt to Georgann is the easist way. 331 south of Montgomery can be one royal pia.

Ok, thanks!! Even tho I'm going all the way east to P City airport?
Also, any advice on a decent hotel around Montgomery?

There are quite a few at Prattville, just a few miles north of Montgomery.

Thanks, TreeFrog! Yep, I saw some in Prattville on an internet search, but I've gotten advice to get on thru M'gomery and find a place off of I-85-supposed to be lots of places to stay and eat there too, and maybe a better neighborhood..

I'm still trying to decide on the best route to the new airport.

sallyh,

I'd try...231 out of Montgomery, in Troy take 87 to Elba (watch the fork; make sure you stay on 87), STAY ON 87 through Samson; if I'm not mistaken it turns into Fla 81 at the state line. STAY ON 81 until you come to Hwy 20 in Bruce (road forks, you will want to go left). Left on 20 across the Choctawhatchee River. In Ebro, turn right on 79. Watch for signs; you'll need to turn left on 388 just before West Bay.

Pretty direct and shouldn't be much traffic. Do be careful at the intersections with flashing lights - they are there for a reason.

Should you miss 87 to Elba, there is a way to skirt around the west side of Dothan, and then there is a *small* road that turns off Hwy 52 by a white house that, if you stay on it long enough, will dead-end into Hwy 79 in Bonifay. I couldn't begin to tell you how to do this though. The last time I took that road from B'fay to Dothan, I encountered a cow in the middle of the road.
