40 for 40 – Island #11: Perdido Key, Fl

Capture

The Island: Peridido Key, Fl 30.3035° N, 87.4273° W

Where: Florida Panhandle next to the infamous Florida/ Alabama line.

How: We took a break from our typical boating/sailing and decided to rent an RV and run south to the Florida panhandle. 

Why: With a trailer in tow, we camped in Perdido Key and enjoyed all it had to offer. We camped in a state park that offered a playground, lots of outdoor exploring and hiking trails. They also had a beach perfect for swimming and kayaking but it was closed from previous hurricane damage.

What: Perdido Key is a perfect mix of action and relaxation. Flora Bama alone has several restaurants, bars, the yacht club (our fave) and several other options all within walking distance. We had the pleasure of experiencing Easter morning church on the beach right in front of Florabama.

We then hit the yacht club for lunch and watched with envy while boat after boat beached themselves right next to the yacht club stage.
