We were on a part of the coast between Destin and Panama city. There is a county road there called 30-A that is about 15 miles lond that fronts the beaches. The town of Seaside (where the Truman Show was filmed) is sort of in the center of the locale with other communities spread out along the route. I've been going there since the late 70's. We were in a house on Seacrest beach where the dune line is about twenty feet high. It makes for beautiful views and white white beaches. Here's a link to the area's chamber of commerce site :
