Miramar Beach, Florida

A few months ago, Scott & I decided a nice long weekend at the beach was something that we wanted (and needed) for a little rest & relaxation. Living on the Gulf Coast- nothing seems better than heading to the Northwest Florida Coast- otherwise known as the "Emerald Coast" for a long weekend visit.


There is just something special about the Emerald Coast- most notably- is its sugar white sand and the greenish-blue glistening glow of the water there. While you are there- sometimes you forget that you're not in the Caribbean or some other exotic locale. It's just that special.
The weather was perfect for our visit- not too hot- and the beach was busy, but not too crowded.

Of course, I couldn't go to the beach without my camera to capture a few shots of one of my favorite places - the beaches in & around Destin, Florida. We stayed in Miramar Beach, which is a little bit down the road from Destin- and just as breathtaking.

Our second night there, we were able to capture this beautiful sunset as we walked along the beach after dinner.



We had a fantastic time- and we're already making plans to go back sometime in the late summer/early fall.

And I can't take credit for these last two photos- the first was taken by a nice lady who returned the favor when I got a picture of her with her friends- and the second was taken by my husband, Scott. :) Since Scruffy wasn't allowed on the beach- we stood at the top of the boardwalk and got a shot of him- I had to capture the fact that he was near the beach!
