From New Orleans to Orland--What beach to stop at along the way?
My DH and I are going on a road trip from Houston, to New Orleans, to Orlando. We would like to spend 2 days between NOLA and Orland at the beach, somewhere in Fl. What beach is the best between those destinations? We want white sand and clear water. Also, if you know of anywhere to stay in the area, including campgrounds please let me know. Thanks.

In short, Gulf Coast beaches are BEAUTIFUL!! The water is clear, the water is blue, the sand is white, there are dunes and sea oats, there are no rocks in the water, and you just couldn't ask for prettier without going to the Caribbean.

aburch78 - The Destin/Ft. Walton beach area is definitely where you want to stop. The beaches are fine, white sand and the water is beautiful. I think there is a campground in the Grayton Beach area. I don't know anything about it, because we're not campers, but that entire area can't be beat.

We were in this area summer 2001 (the whole western coast) and I was amazed at the beauty of the beaches and water.
Are they always that way? I've thought about taking the kids again this summer but wasn't sure what we'd find.

We used to vacation in Destin every summer when we lived in Dallas and they were always beautiful. It's the clearest water I've ever seen outside of the Caribbean, and the prettiest color. I've seen posts here where people found seaweed washed up, but in all the years we went, we never saw it.
This area, Tampa Bay on down, is always gorgeous too--our water isn't quite as clear or blue as theirs though. We've only found seaweed on the beach once here...am sure it happens, but not very often.
