Imagine a Caribbean getaway without the hassle of a passport. Sounds dreamy, right? What if I told you that you could enjoy a Caribbean-style getaway in Florida? With stunning beaches and tropical weather, Florida's beaches are perfect for those seeking a Caribbean escape right here in the United States!
Southern Living recently came out with a list of 20 Florida Beaches That Could Pass For The Caribbean (link). Some of the beaches on the list are located on the Emerald Coast! Here are the beaches that made the list...
Grayton Beach: Located in Santa Rosa Beach, Grayton Beach is a charming, under-the-radar beach spot with lots to offer visitors. Southern Living notes, "Lush dunes create a beautiful natural barrier for the beach, but trust us, you'll want to see what's on the other side: three coastal dune lakes, a rare natural phenomenon occurring in only a few places worldwide."
Inlet Beach: A South Walton gem, Inlet Beach is a calmer alternative to 30A, with wide beaches and lovely snorkeling reefs. Southern Living advises, "Stake out your spot in the soft sand early in the day for the best views of the turquoise waters, then stay 'til sunset, when the place is at its most breathtaking."
Whether you crave pristine waters, charming coastal towns, or an abundance of wildlife, Florida's diverse shoreline has something for everyone. Slather on the sunscreen, leave your worries behind, and embark on a relaxing journey to a Caribbean paradise in the Emerald Coast!
