Summer Vacations In Florida - The Panhandle

Once you decide you are taking the family for a summer vacation to Florida, you must decide which part of Florida do you want to go? Unless you like to swelter from the hot sum, you can almost rule out Southern Florida and the Florida Keys. As nice as these areas are, you don’t want to spend a vacation with temperatures in the 90’s to 100’s and the sun beating down on you with no relief.

The Florida Panhandle is the place to go during the summer months. The summer is their prime season and the cool gulf breezes and the ten to fifteen degree differences in temperatures makes the Panhandle the perfect summer vacation.

The Panhandle, between Destin and Panama City offers the best accommodations at a price most families can afford. Compared to the East Coast of Florida, prices can be fifteen to thirty percent less during the summer months. And the beach can be as crowded as you like. Panama City and Destin have more people in their many story condominiums and hotels and offer more in entertainment than the quaint and quiet villages in between on Route 30-A. You can decide whether you like the fast and furious pace of the bigger tourist areas, or the slow pace and laid back atmosphere of the smaller areas on the Gulf. You have to make this decision.

When deciding where to vacation in Florida during the summer months, make sure you consider the Western Panhandle and all it has to offer. You will find the most beautiful beaches, the nicest people, and an affordable vacation that will bring you back time and time again.
