CAPTURE “PICTURE PERFECT MOMENTS” FOR FREE THIS SUMMER AT FLORIDA'S EMERALD COAST
July 7, 2009
DESTIN • FORT WALTON BEACH • OKALOOSA ISLAND, Fla. – Sharing sunsets, spotting dolphins and soaking up sun top the list of “priceless family moments at no cost” according to 1,500 past guests responding to a 2009 summer survey conducted by the Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau. To help beach-goers capture the season’s best free “Picture Perfect Moments,” Florida’s Emerald Coast offers free disposable cameras now through Sept. 30, 2009, to Destin, Fort Walton Beach or Okaloosa Island visitors to archive treasured memories. Always known for value, this laid back slice of Florida’s upper Gulf coast provides beach rates this summer starting as low as $100 per night (www.destin-fwb.com).
Named the “No. 1 Beach Town in the South” for 14 consecutive years by the readers of Southern Living, the Emerald Coast is unpretentious and breathtakingly beautiful. Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island are famous for 24 miles of sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters and other simple pleasures – from the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” and spirited seaside celebrations to 1,080 holes of challenging golf and nearly 16,000 Gulf-edged accommodations.
Additional wallet-friendly adventures include Florida’s Gulfarium, the state’s oldest marine park, with bottlenose dolphin and sea lion shows and 14 fascinating exhibits. Deep-sea and inshore fishing excursions from the largest charter boat fleet in Florida run for as little as $35 a half day with harborside restaurants to cook the catch. And handfuls of sand dollars can be found on the infamous sand dollar bar.
Whether it’s keeping “good” digital cameras from getting sandy or letting kids take a stab at fun shots, summer visitors can pick up a complimentary disposable camera at the Emerald Coast Visitors Center. Visit www.destin-fwb.com or call the Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau at 800.322.3319 for more promotional details.
