OT: What's your favorite city in Florida other than Miami?

Destin, lived there my last 2 years of high school and was a beautiful place. Hate the bama/auburn fans but an awesome place.

Went to school with all Eglin and Hurlburt kids, most of them had gone to 2-3 high schools and were either from Avianao or Ramstein overseas. Hard to make friends especially since I was only there 2 years.

Pretty sure he’s referring to a black sand beach. For example there’s a black sand beach crossing the Golden Gate bridge just north of San Francisco. Although I’ve been to California many times, I don’t go to the beach normally so I’ve never been to a black sand beach in Cali.

There are beautiful black sand beaches (mostly ground up black lava) on the big island and even a green sand beach (the sand is full of olivine crystals)

There is a black sand beach in Jamaica but it is not from volcanic activity, truly rare. Jamaica is not formed by volcanoes but has a limestone base.

Panama City Beach (Home) and all the surrounding beach towns in a 60 mile radius. Just can’t beat em’, other than all the FSU & Bama fans around.

Destin Beaches used to be alot nicer...
One of my closest friends (Major FSU fan) has a beautiful home in Grayton Bch just west of SanDestin....South Walton beaches are nice....but No way in **** do the Emerald Coast beaches touch Sarasota's Beaches, specifically LongBoat Key & Siesta Key.....

It's all just an opinion but I'd take Grayson any day. Sarasota is like NY city now, not saying Siesta key isn't a nice beach, been there probably 20 times visiting a friend who lived there. Parking is a nightmare condo's everywhere, not my type of place.

I live in Hollywood. I like it here. Fort Lauderdale has some good spots too. I used to be in the upper Keys every weekend with my boat but it's gotten too overcrowded now. I don't enjoy it as much. I lived in Orlando for a while. It's alright. Wouldn't want to move back. I've got some buddies in St. Pete. Real nice over there.
