{Travel&Leisure} Florida Beaches-St. Andrews State Park/PCB


Happy Friday my friends! It is time for another edition of Florida Beaches. We visited St. Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach. We loved it-the beaches were clean and the sand was like powder. They had facilities there and a snack shop. Look at the color of that water. Unfortunately the tide was coming in, so not a lot of shells and we couldn't really go out to the sandbar. The ocean was rough that day, but we managed to go in the water anyways.


Lot's of seabirds of course. They are always looking for a bite to eat.

The St. Andrews Park Pier. After the pier the highrises start and this is where all the tourists hang out.


Crystal clear waters-never seen anything like it anywhere else. This is where my turquoise color obsession started-see here.


Great sand dunes. They are a protected area.


You can see here the Gulf was rough that day. To read about our trip to Shell Island visit here. Linking up here. Have a great weekend (hopefully at the beach).

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Ashley Smith

  7. Beautiful colours in these scenes. I can imagine walking the beach with the cool sand between my toes, gazing out to the horizon. Sigh. So lovely.

  9. Love Panama City and PC Beach. We try to get up there once or twice a year for their Thunder Beach bike fest. Great pics.

  10. I wish we live close to the beach... next time we go to Florida, we are hitting the beach and not the theme park anymore. Or maybe a day or 2 at the theme park and the rest at the beach. We can't go there without saying "hi" to Mickey and friends.
