The Emerald Coast stretches just over 100 miles, from the south Alabama coast, to the bend of the Florida Panhandle. It's waves crest on sugar white beaches through multiple counties in both states, from Gulf Shores to west of Panama City. It's a region of the country with historical significance and tourist driven flavor. The area is home to military bases, legendary forts of old, and remains the playground of memories since the early 1900's. More than 30 different beach cities and towns litter the expanse of coastline, including many smaller communities tucked away in coves that kiss the back-bay.
Below is a sampling of the best Beaches on the Emerald Coast.
The Emerald Coast is the most incredible place for families to visit. The beaches are fabulous and there are countless things to do everywhere you look. With theme parks, water slides, zoos, museums, historical sites (plus the beaches and pool), there is something for every member of the family, rain or shine! It doesn't matter where you stay along the Emerald Coast either, there are so many fun things to do alone or with the whole family.
