This northwestern Florida beach town was once a turpentine mecca, back when you needed the distilled sap to build ships. Today, it prides itself on its hiking and biking trails, as well as its Caribbean-style artists? colony.
Stay: Architect David Rockwell designed the airy-looking
WaterColor Inn & Resort, where you get free use of bicycles, fishing gear, and kayaks that you can paddle around its on-site dune lake.
Eat: Stop in for a cappuccino, ice cream, an ?outrageous cinnamon roll,? or even just a beer at
Miss Lucille?s Gossip Parlor. If you don?t have anything to pass along to Miss Lucille herself, you can just watch the beachgoers stroll by, or check your e-mail on one of her coffeehouse?s computers. ?
