What Are You Doing This Weekend? March 30 - April 1


What’s happening on the Emerald Coast this weekend?

A bit of sleepy weekend here on the Emerald Coast this weekend. There are definitely a few great events happening, so on the bright side, you can devote more attention to these events. The weather should be gorgeous this weekend, so it will also be a great time to hit the beach or get out there on the water. For other ideas, check out the latest spring issue of Life’s A Beach, you’re sure to get some inspiration there!
