April Showers & Sunshine
April has arrived, bringing those classic coastal days where sunshine, sea breezes, and the occasional passing showers remind us we’re right where we belong. Early risers may spot anglers casting along the shoreline, while afternoons welcome families and friends soaking up the warmth and gentle Gulf waters. As our beaches remain the heart of it all, we kindly ask everyone to help keep them beautiful. Please gather all personal items at the end of your visit, use the provided receptacles for trash, and fill in any holes left in the sand. These simple efforts go a long way in preserving the shoreline for everyone to enjoy.

Spring Is Coming!
Sunshine and the spring breeze are heading our way, and we are ready! With warmer weather come beach days and tan lines. Back on February 28, the Special Events for Mexico Beach hosted the 26th Annual Gumbo Cook-Off, and it was a huge success. Those who came enjoyed great gumbo, live music, and sweets galore. Proceeds from the event go to the July 4th Best Blast on the Beach fireworks show. A special thank you to the volunteers with Special Events, who work many hours to put on this successful celebration. Also, a big thank you to all the teams that entered and those who came out to support the event. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Love & Gumbo!
|
We’re ready to feel the love for warmer weather! This time of year can be rather cold to our northern friends, so we suggest giving the gift of a sunny beach vacation to your sweetheart. Love is always in the air, especially when the smells of delicious gumbo are heating up. The end of the month brings the beloved annual Gumbo Cook-Off back to our community. This fundraiser, hosted on February 28 by the Special Events for Mexico Beach, promises to be a great time with good gumbo, live music, free beads, and much more. Come celebrate your love for sunshine and good food this month in Mexico Beach, Florida. |

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
There is an old legend about the sand dollar and its association with the Christmas holiday. The sand dollar symbolizes peace, unity, and resilience, as well as good luck. We want to wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Let’s Show Our Thanks!
It’s the month to give thanks, and all of us here are so thankful to you, our loyal readers, who continue to show your love and support for Mexico Beach. During this month, we hope you can look back and enjoy all the good that you’ve experienced over the years, and we hope some of those memories include trips to the beach. We are grateful to live in such a beautiful destination and try not to take it for granted. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.
The Month of sky painting!
|
October brings a new set of sky paintings, better known as sunsets, here to the beach. The colors are rich in pinks, oranges, purples, and yellow hues. It is one of the better times to be on the beach, with the majestic colors, and you can often have the beach all to yourself. Between watching your team on the big screen and running errands, sometimes you just need to pause and take in the small, joyful moments between the busy ones. Our sunsets offer some great views to help remind you to enjoy life and that it’s OK to slow down. |
