@adventures.4a.lifetime: Ever wonder why the sand here is so white and the water so green? That sand is almost pure quartz from the Appalachian Mountains, and clear water over white sand gives the Emerald Coast its color. We stayed at the Azure in Fort Walton Beach in a 3-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront condo, a great option if you're traveling with more than one family or a big group. Fish off the pier, go deep-sea fishing out of Destin, visit the Gulfarium, or hit the go-karts, arcades and putt-putt nearby.
