Stayed down there last year for a week. It was nice and quiet. You had to do a little driving for the nice restaurants, but I liked it down there. I did a little surf fishing and relaxed.
Plumber,
Many years ago I had a boat down at Mexico Beach.I really did like it for many reasons.The canel gave you access to the gulf and the protection of a safe harbor.There are not a lots of people there as in Panama City.We go down there now a couple of times a year with the grandchildren.If you like Florida where it isn't so commercialized and enjoy the fishing also,ya can't beat it to me!
Mexico Beach is nice and not too crowded, but you better wait until next week to see if it's still there. There is going to be a lot of beach erosion after Dennis along the gulf coast.
my dad had a boat in Mexico beach back in the 60s when I was a youmg-un and all my recollections of those days fishin with my dad and brothers are some of the best memories I have !!!Man I miss those days!
