One of the nicest areas in all Florida is midway between Panama City and
Fort Walton, which is the communities of Seaside and Watercolor. These are
innovative new urbanist communities designed for walking with
architecturally distinguished homes, slow traffic, great neighborhood feel
and cute shops and restaurants. Both are pricey, but there are
inexpensive motels in nearby communities. If you can afford it, contact
Seaside's rental agency and rent a house or loft, or try the Watercolor
Inn.

My husband and I may be going to Panama City for a few days in March. Where
should we stay, and what are the attractions (other than "doing" the
beaches) in the area? We'd want to stay at a mid-price hotel. Also, we are
not into the bar scene. I'm in my early 50s and he is 60.

Or where else in the panhandle would be nice if not Panama City?

Thanks.
