If you are a repeat visitor, you might have noticed they were closed last year. The owners had pruned the plants and they did not have enough time to recover for last summers season. However these plants are producing a great harvest. The cost is only $2.50 / pound. Bring some bug spray and get ready to have a fun family adventure.

Where do I begin? There is so much to talk about, from the Salt Air Market to next months Scallop Festival but nothing more pressing than the Deepwater Horizon Oil situation. The question on everyones mind Is there oil on the beach. I am happy to report at this time, we do not have any, Zero, Zilch oil on the beaches of Cape San Blas, Indian Pass or even Mexico Beach. We are oil free, except of course for sun tan oil and the water is beautiful.   It is possible to have oil in the future, but at this time, the oil is miles and miles from the beaches of Gulf County.

Come down and enjoy the beaches and the beautiful St Joseph Bay. We are in the middle of Scallop Season and the harvest is going great. Remember you need a Florida Saltwater fishing license to harvest scallops from the bay. Coming soon is a scallop recipe that will make your mouth water!

Lastly, if you are interested in owning a part of the Forgotten Coast, please call and contact me. We still have some foreclosures that can be purchased at attractive prices.

Till next time,

Spring really is here but no one told the weather man. Still cool with highs in the 70 degree range [normal is 75-80] but today the sun is out and the Bradford pear trees are blooming along with the red tip, forsythia, daffodils and soon the azaleas. Fishing should be getting better later this month with migrating pompano and cobia[ling] all along the beaches.


Time to come down and get rid of the winter blahs. Still some great real estate buys but inventory is way down. Hope to see you soon.]]> http://www.flbeaches.net/blog.cfm?id=130 03/23/10

We volunteered for the Sea Turtle Patrol and after a year of training began to help preserve and maintain nesting grounds for this endangered species. From May until November this group of volunteers get up at day break and patrol [foot or vehicle] the beaches looking for overnight nesting activity. Marking the nest, counting the eggs and monitoring each nest until it hatches. Keeping records, GPS nest marking and making sure these baby turtles are returned to the sea. You return home at about 9AM and eat breakfast knowing you have done something worthwhile. If you are interested call Barbara Eells 850 647-8238.]]> http://www.flbeaches.net/blog.cfm?id=131 03/23/10
