    Cobblestone memorials were all around us to both individuals and groups.

    This was an amazing experience. My wife and I are both Airforce brats, so it was very exciting to have a private tour of the base. We arranged ahead of time with a mutual friend who works on the base to show us around. We drove through much of the base, seeing people at work, families on playgrounds, and so many F-35s flying overhead. Up until this visit, I only saw the F-35 on TV or movies. Wow. There was a section of the base the public is typically not allowed we got to see. We needed special clearance to get in and - no pictures. All I can say is it had something to do with the B1 Bomber. They had a great memorial also. We stopped to walk through. It was a memorial for every war since planes were first used (WWI) and they did not forget the Korean War, either. This was a very moving experience. When we were through, we stopped briefly at the Air Force Museum on the base. Hundreds of early to recent planes were all around us. We only had a few minutes we could stay. We had a picture taken of us with a B1, and I got a couple of pictures of an SR-71 Blackbird. I did have a few more but my thumb was in them. (Oops.)

    Destin, Florida is a city in NW Florida located in the Panhandle. They have gained notoriety as the…read morebeaches are magical with Emerald Waters and Powdery White Sand. Interesting fact, the sand is that way from granite deposits that flow from North GA and beyond all the way down into the Gulf as silt. Because of the beaches, the area attracts more and more tourist every year and IMO is getting more luxurious as the years go by. I've noticed better restaurants, more aesthetically pleasing looking buildings and just a more upscale feel with each visit. I'm writing this here because I noticed many of the beaches along the 6 mile coast are PRIVATE. I'm not sure which beach to actually post this review but I find that simply horrible, ridiculous, backwards and restrictive! Who adds gates with Codes to a beach?!?! I can understand a handful of properties and major resorts but to secure majority of the coastline with Controlled Access? In my particular visit I stayed at a resort and had the codes for entry/exit but found many people having difficulty simply getting to the beach! I don't think they knew the beaches would have controlled Access! Even to exit, you need a code! That's shameful! It was frustrating to see people struggle with umbrellas/coolers and chairs only to have to find the Public Beach and have to walk back to their car. May I add the city also doesn't have any form of boardwalk to enjoy a long walk down the coast or some form of transportation to maneuver the public/private beaches! You're basically on your own! I'm curious Who/When/How that got approved because that's definitely some backwards N. Florida, My Property, ME, ME, ME planning! I'm not a resident but I believe some things on this planet are public and Imo a beach is one of them! Plus their has to be better ways to protect and maintain these beaches than blocking them off from the general public. Any who, for anybody planning a Trip to Destin, Please do your homework! Visit the website below which has hyperlinks for all the beaches which explains access points/fees/sizes of the beach and more details. I'll also attach a picture which shows a few of the main Public Beaches. It does appear the largest beach is Henderson Beach with1.22 miles of shoreline. Seems like the general "Dump the masses" area. The others are significantly smaller! smh. Any who I hope this helps! One Last detail, We had many umbrellas and chairs however this was literally the 1st beach that didn't have Umbrellas for sale on the beach. It's just very restrictive down there and is worthy of a review! https://www.cityofdestin.com/281/Beach-Information
