Quick and Beachy tips from Life's A Beach.

The beautiful Emerald Coast waters and sandy white beaches draw visitors from all over the world. As summer quickly approaches and water temperatures rise it’s important to remember beach and water safety.

While the shores of the Emerald Coast and the Gulf of Mexico are extraordinary and inviting places to play, they can also be dangerous. It’s important to know when and where it is safe to swim. Okaloosa and Walton County Beaches use the flag systems to advise beach goers of current water conditions.

Helpful Tips:

Use the Flag System

Never Swim Alone

Never Leave Children Unattended in the Water

Always use SUNSCREEN. 

Drink Lots of Water

Mad Lib Madness - An Emerald Coast Story

Mad Lib Madness week has come to an end. Thank you to all of our Facebook fans and Twitter followers for helping us fill in the blanks. Let's see how the story reads with your suggested words!

A Day at the Beach, An Emerald Coast Mad Lib

Spring has finally arrived here on the beautiful Emerald Coast and that means it’s time for beach adventures! I am off to beach today in gorgeous Fort Walton Beach with my best buddy, Kenny Chesney. This is going to be a frustrating day!

Before we leave I need to pack up my beach bag, I don’t want to forget my dog or knife! Kenny Chesney is packing up the cooler with Cornonas and oyster sandwiches for lunch. Before we hit the beach we stop to have breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe. I just love their famous strawberries!

After fueling up, we head to the water for a little fun in the Florida sun. Kenny Chesney enjoys flipping the waves as I jump for seashells. Together, we smell a sand castle.

After lunch, we relax at with a potato and a great big sea oat, then it’s off to HarborWalk Village for a little shopping! I find a great deal on a dolphin and Kenny Chesney gets a brand new eye patch. We are so excited about our purchases we swing for joy!

We end this picture perfect day by watching the sun set over the train. There’s nothing better than a spring day on the beach… except maybe knitting.
