The powdery white beaches of Destin and surrounding area are some of my favorites. It's so sad that visitors are being scared away by sensationalized news. Yes, the oil spill is bad but it hasn't blanketed the entire area. We know that now from your first-hand account. Thanks for giving us the real picture, Shannon.

Would be great if you did another post with links to the live webcams!

I love Destin and the Gulf coast area. It was one of our favorite beach vacation that my kids still talk about it till now. It's sad but true fact of media with disaster that when this kind of problem happened, people tend to lump all the area together without the real fact. I know it first hand during our trip to Thailand right after Bangkok's protest. I hope people will still go vacation on the Gulf especially now. Thank you for sharing! Thank you for the update!

It's hard to know what to believe when the news media makes it sound like every beach along the Gulf Coast is drowning in oil, but various beach town PR departments are saying everything's fine. It's a shame that so many people are staying away from beaches where there is no oil problem yet. Thanks so much for the update!
