Sugar sand is comfy to walk on and doesn't get hot, but sticks like
glue and is BORING to snorkel around. Other problem is that when the
water gets warm it gets "RICH". Not that the sea water here in
Massachusetts isn't a varitable soup, but when it's 84º it seems slimy
in a way 65º never does, much like Stout. It's still a cheap vacation.
Believe it or not they are building even more hotels on the beach
There are some unspoiled places I will admit. Mexico Beach and the
shore behind Tyndall AFB are wild. Mom-in-law almost grabbed a small
gator by the tail because she doesn't wear her glasses at the beach and
thought it was drift wood. The jump and hiss clued her in. Apalachicola
is beautiful, more like a small southern town on the gulf. Don't mean
to pick on it so. The locals are mostly hard working, good people and
the most obnoxious tourist I've run into were all from "up North".
Folks do suffer from what we call the Port Authority Syndrome. Take the
Ferry to Nantucket in November and the sailors are as friendly and
helpful as can be. In August, they harbor a deep and merciless hatred
for humanity. The only time we really can't handle in PCB is spring
break. How such a holy rolling part of the bible belt ended up as the
center of leacherous college headonism is beyond me. Church, bar,
church, Club LaVela, church, porn shop, church, bar, etc. on down the
strip.
