If you do go to 30a, let me know. I've been going there for a long, long time and can give you some pointers for food and such.

Destin is a little better.
I am a beach enthusiast.
Have been to beaches in multiple states countries and islands.
The pulverized quarts stretch of beach from Orange Beach to past Destin is one of the best in the world.
Little tip: dig a hole and bury your cold drinks and ice in a plastic bag just under that beautiful snow white sand. The ice will never melt and the drinks will stay 35 degrees.
Drive the road along the beach in Gulf Breeze (Pensacola Beach) headed west. It is so beautiful.
If you want a spot of beach all to yourself keep headed that way till you get to Navarre.
I lived on that stretch for 7 years.
Enjoy.

That is where to go should you do the FL panhandle.
Yuuuuuuup.
That too.

Florabama Bar if you wanna see some scantily dressed hot body southern bells.

Avoid Destin/San Destin. Overrated.

I took the family to Orange Beach two years ago, had a lot of fun. I'd go back, so I suppose that's as good an endorsement as I can provide. We took a Dolphin cruise and there were dolphins all over the place. Lots of great pics, and the kids had a blast. Also went parasailing for the first time, also a blast.

I ate Dreamland for the first time this year. The ribs were pretty amazing. The rest of the Q was average. The ribs, though, were like a freaking steak.

We stayed in Orange Beach for a couple of days a few weeks ago. Very nice area. We also stayed in Destin right after Orange Beach..the water in Destin was clearer at that time...but Orange Beach wasn't nearly as congested. Both are great imo.

If you like to eat there is also a Lamberts in Foley, Ala. About 10 miles from OB.
