Translated, Panhandle means panhandle style, which does not do justice to the beauty of this corner of the world. Southern charm, abundant wildlife, blues at its finest and around 320 kilometers of gleaming white beaches with crystal-clear water are particularly enchanting along the Emerald Coast.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Geographically speaking, the Panhandle is not part of Florida&#8217;s peninsula, but is an approximately 370 kilometer long and up to 140 kilometer wide Gulf of Mexico coastal strip between Alabama and Georgia. All the larger towns in the Panhandle, with the exception of Florida&#8217;s capital <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/panhandle\/tallahassee\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3039\">Tallahassee <\/a><\/strong>on the coast. If you drive along US 98, you will pass <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/panhandle\/pensacola\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3038\">Pensacola<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/panhandle\/panama-city-beach\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3037\">Panama City Beach<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/panhandle\/apalachicola\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3036\">Apalachicola<\/a> as \u201cmust see\u201d stops and Gulf Breeze, Fort Walton Beach, Destin and Seaside as \u201ccan see\u201d stops.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Completely unjustly forgotten coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">In other respects too, vacationers here feel closer to the so-called southern states than to Florida proper. It is <strong>not as densely populated<\/strong> as other parts of the peninsula. For this reason, and because the weather is not quite as hot and humid, Panhandle is also very suitable for a stay in midsummer. It is somewhat cooler here than in the well-known south of Florida. Temperatures here average between 30\u00b0 and 35 degrees Celsius. In winter, on the other hand, it gets really wintry: 10\u00b0C is not uncommon here from December to February.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">What can you say about the beaches: pure powdered sugar, emerald green crystal clear water, dunes sometimes as far as the eye can see. Roads here sometimes look like they are covered in snow and there are snow clearing vehicles on the road to remove the sand. The largest <strong>nature park <\/strong>in the Panhandle, covering 2430 km\u00b2, is the Apalachicola National Forest. Other parks and protected areas worth visiting are Wakulla Springs State Park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/beaches-panhandle\/st-george-island-state-park\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4883\">St. George Island<\/a> and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forget all the beaches you&#8217;ve ever seen in Florida: those on the Emerald Coast are undoubtedly the most beautiful.
