We are moving west and stop at Destin on the beach between Panama City and Fort Walton Beach. I’ve driven back and forth on 200 mile beach road between Tallahassee and Pensacola dozens of times over the past 40 years.
At first there were a few fishing villages and a handful of sleazy motels on the beach.
The growth lately seems exponential. There are ten story condos lining the beach in both directions. The sleepy two-lane road is now a clogged six-lane and there are two factory outlet malls within walking distance.
Still, even with all the growth, the wide white sand beaches and brilliant blue water are beautiful.

There are fewer and fewer unspoiled areas. The lakes in this part of the country used to be beautiful. Development has pretty much ruined them.

As long as you don't look too close, Phred. Then the white sand beaches are filled with litter and the blue water is polluted.
