Destin = Rich and Famous from Atlanta and Birmingham, way overpriced.
Panama City Beach (not Panama City, 2 different towns) = OK but lots of people.
Mexico Beach = Bingo!!! Check it out, lower prices not as many people, just 20 miles each of Panama City I think one building is 3 stories tall. (not Panama City Beach, 2 different towns)
Note to All: If you come to Panama City Beach drive across the Hathaway Bridge to Panama City to eat. Hunts Oyster Bar, Captains Table, Uncle Ernies and more. MUCH better food and much lower prices. Locals would never eat in Panama City Beach. Oily Fried Expensive Frozen Shrimp and Grouper Nuggets that trick tourist into thinking they are eating fresh seafood. NOT!
