It was the easiest and most luxurious beach vacation my husband and I ever had. All we needed to pack were our clothes and we never had to leave the Camp Creek Inn property during our four-night stay. We ate every meal at the resort and enjoyed relaxing at the beach, golf, exercise classes, bike riding and lounging at four different pools.

The Gulf of Mexico is known for its turquoise waters and charming U.S. towns on the eastern side, giving it the nickname “America’s Riviera.” While both 30A and St. Pete are Gulf Coast vacation spots, with white sand, sparkling blue oceans and plenty to do, they’re a little bit different. Put them on your list to explore this summer.

Our luggage consists of racket bags stuffed with tennis gear, swim trunks, and just enough clothing to look presentable at our hotel in South Walton, an upscale part of the Florida panhandle. One of my objectives for this trip is to work on my game; the other is to spend some quality time with my brother, my favorite lifelong hitting partner.

Many people flock to the Florida Panhandle for summer vacations to take advantage of the beautiful beaches. When planning your next trip to the region, don’t overlook these three vacation spots.

Local, Carrie Honaker, shares her favorite restaurants, hotels, and things to do in Florida's 30A.

The first time I glimpsed the 26-mile stretch of beach on 30A — almost 30 years ago — I thought I had been transported to some undiscovered island paradise. The stark white sand and crystal-clear emerald waters coupled with forests, rivers, and bays teeming with wildlife convinced me to make my home here. This gorgeous region — unlike anywhere else in Florida — has grown into an area with a vibrant arts and culture scene, four state parks, and Timpoochee Trail, the bike path that hugs 18 miles of 30A coastline and lures visitors from all over. 

This Fourth of July weekend, there are several reasons to celebrate at the newest Watersound Club hotel in Northwest Florida.

I’m here to tell you about a place where families can have the time of their lives. You know, the kind of place where there’s so much to do, you’d need a map just to get from the poolside to the dining area.
