Longer nights mean more time spent dining out at our many local restaurants and stargazing on the beach. Reconnect with loved ones while walking along the water’s edge, ending the day with some fresh, local seafood or a burger and ice cream from a number of eateries within walking distance to your vacation rental. Fall offers some of the most beautiful sunsets along the Gulf, and there’s no better place to take in this sight.
