I'm not just referring to the beach itself because I get it, not everyone wants dogs on the beach. I'm talking about the town itself. I have not found really any places that are pet friendly. There's a few, but they're so few that it makes it very hard to enjoy your vacation with a pet. I came with my son and his family and I guess I should have looked it up first, but I just didn't expect it to be so widespread.

I love their book and DVD selection. They also have a small video game section for Playstation 3 and Xbox games but it's really small. If you're studying for any of the local entrance exams they have a descent supply of reference books that you can check out and foreign language section right next to it. Plenty of computers to use if you need to go online, 10 page printing limit/per day, an outside patio area that's enclosed for anyone who wants to read outside, and some couches in the back by the magazine section lined with private study desks with outlets for computers/ipads. The staff is helpful and very friendly. They have free movie nights posted as well and story book time for pre-k, just check their calendar. They aren't opened FRIDAYS but you can use the atrium area to sit and wifi your laptop. Otherwise they're open Mon-Thur/Sat&Sun.

AND it also links to the historical village in downtown Pensacola and Fort Pickens. But I will let you discover all that.

So interesting and a fun thing to see even though it's only accessible from the street so a shout…read moreout to Yelp's Paula C. for spotlighting this curious oddity. The Futuro House looks more like an alien spacecraft than a building but it was designed and created a Finnish architect named Matti Suuronen in 1968 as a ski chalet, the radical design was subsequently marketed to the public as a small prefabricated home, easily assembled and installed on virtually any topography. I really wanted to get inside this thing but out of respect for the owner and the fear of being arrested for trespassing I like everyone else viewed it from a distance. In the eastern United States, Futuros were manufactured in an Atlantic City, New Jersey factory, delivered by truck in sections, and assembled on-site. Concrete piers form a foundation for the metal frame that cradles the Futuro 24 inches above the ground. The building measures 26 feet in diameter and 13 feet high. There has been a recent resurgence in the construction of these homes that are being marketed as sustainable off the grid living and you can now purchase a brand new UFO Home from Futuro Houses / Cleveland, Ohio their website is https://www.futurohouses.com/

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
