I took a few days off down at 30A, the Rosemary Beach - Seagrove area in Florida. It is near Panama City, but is more leisurely and less party-oriented than P.C. No, it's not tacky. The prime recreational activity involves taking leisurely strolls on the sand. The water is too cold to swim in; but wading in is okay until your toes get too cold. Many visitors dress beach-style in swimsuits or shorts, but possibly might accessorize with a windbreaker. We stayed in a upstairs room above a carriage house.
This outing was quiet, romantic place for relaxation, rather than rowdy. Rowdy is okay, but tiring. What's it like in a off-season coastal town? It's quiet, serene, and less expensive. And less fashion-conscious. A cup of coffee and a chocolate pie or ice cream is the afternoon delight.
Well, maybe not that much . . . . Later, after returning to the grindstone, I had some flu virus that kept me inactive upon returning. I'll post something more extended when I'm at full speed.
It sounds like a nice place to zen out on viewing water. I hope you will feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny, risque ad!
ReplyDeleteI think she's going to need more lubricant.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a mountain guy than a beach guy, so I'll take your word for the pleasures of the off-season coastal town. Good to have you back, and I hope you get over the creeping crud soon.
ReplyDeletethe 'jiggle' sign made me laugh. the place sounds relaxing in the off-season!
ReplyDeleteI like N. Fla too; but especially around the part nearest to Pensacola. FWB is sort of rundown.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a good trip.
Meredith -- Thank you for the good wishes.
ReplyDeleteHeidi -- I hope it was not over the top.
TexWisGirl -- I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Elvis -- You're thinking of the Florabama?
ilbo -- Mountains are nice too. 30A is a little far from Fairfax Co.
Mike -- I think so too. Meditation will carry you only so far.
