  • The white beaches on the Florida Panhandle make up what's known as Florida's forgotten coast; its sandy beaches and natural beauty have remained trapped in time.

    I remember taking leave from Ft. Benning, and staying at the Sand Dollar Inn on Tyndall AFB for $12/night in 1989. My God was it a place out of this world... Not crowded, GREAT surf fishing, peaceful, not much traffic in the sleepy little town called Mexico Beach. Visited Destin every year in the Fall until 2006, and boy what a change. Terrible traffic, crowded, different vibe. What a GD shame... Best beaches in the world.

    Whether it was on purpose (govt protection) or accidental, I am glad it is “forgotten”. Otherwise, the rich would go there, demolish everything to build golf courses, fancy mansions, etc. I hope it stays this way. I lived in Florida for about 4 years. Along with California, it is one of the most beautiful states in the US.
