Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast has been selected by Frommer’s Travel Guide as one of the top 12 destinations for 2010.  Frommer’s Travel Guide is one of the world’s best-selling travel guides with more than 75 million books sold.  Copenhagen,Denmark; Salta Province, Argentina; and Melbourne, Australia are other areas that made Frommer’s list.  Hawaii’s Big Island was the only other US location to make the list. 

 Frommer’s states:  The panhandle never gets the respect it deserves, Northwest Florida, in fact, contains some of the most diverse recreation choices along Florida’s drastically under-appreciated Gulf coast, and some of the best options for visitors seeking an affordable family vacation. From Destin to the west, where you can hire a fishing or sailing charter, to the smattering of National Seashores as you move east, there’s really something for everyone. Seaside’s planned community is so “perfect” it was the setting for the The Truman Show, yet you’ll also find old-school Florida towns with funky shops, tiny hotels, pristine beaches, and the perfect cottage to rent.

“Stunning beaches, nature trails … great restaurants, and a cozy, yet quirky, sense of community.” — Lesley Abravanel, author Frommer’s Florida
