Welcome to the Panhandle!

The Florida Panhandle, also known as the Emerald Coast, is a unique region that stretches across the northwestern part of Florida. This area, distinct in both geography and culture from the rest of the state, encompasses a series of charming coastal towns, pristine beaches, and natural landscapes that draw visitors and residents alike.

Geographically, the Panhandle is defined by its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, providing an extensive coastline renowned for its sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-green waters. Each of these cities offers its own unique blend of history, culture, and recreational activities.

Pensacola, one of the oldest European settlements in the United States, offers a rich historical tapestry with sites such as the National Naval Aviation Museum and Historic Pensacola Village. The city is also home to beautiful white-sand beaches and clear, emerald waters, which attract tourists year-round.

Destin, known as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” boasts some of the best deep-sea fishing in the country. Its pristine beaches, upscale resorts, and family-friendly attractions make it a popular destination.

Further east, Panama City and Panama City Beach provide a vibrant nightlife, excellent dining, and numerous water activities. St. Andrews State Park, with its hiking trails, camping sites, and snorkeling opportunities, is a highlight for outdoor enthusiasts.

Northwest Florida’s coastal charm is complemented by its inland areas, featuring state parks, forests, and rivers ideal for kayaking, hiking, and wildlife observation.
