By Lynne ChristenYou probably realized while reading this blog weekly that I am not objective about the
Emerald Coast. Over the weeks, I’ve shared a bounty of great things about living and visiting here. Actually, you don’t have to take my word for it. Praise constantly pours in for the
Beaches of South Walton from leading travel publications.
Frommer’s recently ranked Beaches of South Walton and the Florida Panhandle as one of the Top 12 Destinations for 2010. The ranking recognizes the area for its diverse recreation choices, pristine beaches, funky shops and planned communities like Seaside. The guide agrees that “there really is something for everyone.”
USA Today cited the “sweet life in a stretch of Florida’s sugar sand” and highlighted the communities of WaterColor, Sandestin, Seaside and WaterSound. Julie Herron Carson, a freelance writer in Atlanta, praises the “family-friendly fun” and proclaimed the Beaches of South Walton one of her new favorite places in
The Piedmont Review.
The Weather Channel aired live from Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort as part of its “Why I Love Spring” series. And,
Travel & Leisure ranks
WaterColor Inn & Resort in Santa Rosa Beach in the 2010 Top 500 Hotels of the World.
