Maybe you?ve seen the breath taking photos of sugar white sand and emerald green water. You know they are in Florida but where at? The Florida Panhandle offers the nicest beaches in the continental US, hands down no other location compared. Once you step on the soft cool sand and glances towards the sparkling green hued waters you know you know you?ve found what you are looking for. But searching for Florida Panhandle Beaches will only get you so far. There are three major destinations and each is unique in its own way, although the beaches are all the same!
The most well known Florida Panhandle Beach is Panama City Beach. Originally famous as a top spring break destination this fun beach town has grown up over the years. Gone are the small mom and pop joints that welcome the party crowd. Panama City Beach hotels are reasonably priced and most offer easy access to the soft white Panhandle Beach sand. Check out http://panamacityhotelscheap.com for more information on accommodations and attractions.
If you are looking for something a little more upscale and refined, than Destin is the Panhandle beach for you. Less developed than Panama City Beach, Destin is home to only a handful of beachfront hotels. A more popular option is to rent a vacation rental home or condo. Head over to http://destinvacationdeals.com for tips and trick that will help you get the best rates.
A little less known than Destin and PCB is Pensacola Beach Florida. This area is by far the most laid back and you can find a nice selection of hotels on the beach in Pensacola at reasonable rates. This is a good option if you just plan on kicking back and watching the waves. For accommodations here check out http://cheappensacolahotels.com.
If you want the best beaches in the country, look no further than the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle. If white sand isn?t important, than check out Beachfront Florida Hotels for all major beach destinations in the state.

Not everyone is searching for hotels in Destin. In fact many travelers opt to spend their beach vacation in a home. A home offers a chance for large groups to all be under one roof, providing a unique experience. At first glance renting a home may look like an expensive option. If you look a little closer and some simple math you?ll find it may be much more affordable than guessed. Take a 3 bedroom home, divide it by 3 families, and in some cases you may actually save money. How do you go about booking a home in Destin? It?s a little different than finding a hotel and putting in your credit card number. Home rentals are offered by independent companies, national chains, home owners, and a variety of other programs. We?ve created a guide to help you find a home in Destin. Check out Cheap Destin Houses for tips, tricks, and recommendations.
