    Gotta love those Florida beaches. Spent two years around Pensacola when I was in the Navy back in the 70's.

    Been in that area alot,golfing that is,so beach info isn't my bag,but if you and the wife want a good meal,the Lobster pot, has lobster from all over the world,a good wine list,should suffice,also Shula's is one of my favs too.Aside from eats,the only other advice I can offer is on strip clubs.Not sure the wife would appreciate that.:D

    Honey Moon Island It's straight west on Hillsboro Ave. It's a State Park so there is a entrance fee.
