Awesome. Greatly appreciate it
Everything is great here on the old Forgotten Coast.
Spring should be here in a few weeks so come on down.
@CigarDawg what is area typically referred to as the Forgotten Coast?
Not a big topic of conversation around here but most of the locals consider it from Indian Pass (Gulf Co) to Panacea (Wakulla Co). Originally was from Mexico Beach to St Marks but that was 30 years ago.
Beautiful country, my friends and I incorrectly called that the Big Bend area. That's why I was confused 🤔 . Thanks!
Lots of great options, but I'll piggyback on the Ponte Vedra idea with a golfing twist. We love the Sawgrass Marriott. It's at the TPC course, so you can check on great golfing packages at the TPC--the hotel is set up for golfers. They have a shuttle that runs regularly to and from the beach (~10 mins) where they have a little club. It's actually easier than walking in a lot of situations. The hotel complex has great pools, games for kids and adults, a putt-putt course and a good spa/gym. They have traditional rooms and condo/apt suites you can rent so it is more like a home and you do have a small kitchen. That would be my recco for family/ies. Close to the Palm Valley Fish Camp (my fave restaurant in the area), where you can fill up on Mayport shrimp and FL seafood. As stated earlier, perfect for field trips to St. Augustine and areas south of Jax (like Cape Canaveral tours).
We have stayed there many times over the last 30 years including several WLOCPs. On our most recent stay over NY's we shared the hotel with the Gamecock team (lots of sad faces for bfast). Shared it with the Gators, too, for the WLOCP. The only negative is that they are doing a rolling refresh on the rooms, so if you get an older room it isn't updated, still nice, but not new and nice.
Understandable as the region sometimes includes Apalachicola. Big Bend Coast pretty much goes from St Marks to Cedar Key. Epitome of what one would call "Old Florida".
Another great place that we’ve stayed before. Would recommend
