^^^Right on.

The article described the panhandle city of Pace, FL as a suburb of Tampa; It should've said Pensacola instead.

I think there's a nude beach in Sunny Isles Beach if my memory serves me correctly. Last thing I want my kids seeing. Last thing I wanted to see for that matter. Happened on it by accident one day. lol.

OBVIOUSLY JAX BEACH IS THE BEST OF THE PACK.

True, Good Wife Libby and I almost bought a house there to reestablish our Florida residence. Actually a big city (hidden by a collection of a dozen smaller burgs). in 2007 Pensacola Metro had 453,451 and Mobile had 404,406. And Tallahassee had 352,319. Did you think Tallahassee or Mobile was larger than Pensacola? NOT. 

Beautiful area, the scenic bluffs along the bay, the City of Pensacola's Seville Quarter. Unlike Orlando, which actually had a 'Rosie O' Gradys,' in the panhandle, 'Rosie O' Gradys' has a Pensacola.

The best part about Pace was being just a couple of stop lights from historic Milton and old Bagdad. Crestview is another strong draw to this region, but the absolute BEST reason to move there is some of the worlds finest canoeing. The rivers of the panhandle are not equaled in Maine, Minnesota or Washington.
