4 Reasons You *Have* to Plan Your Next Meetup In Gulf County Florida + $50 AMEX Giveaway

4 Reasons You *Have* to Plan Your Next Meetup In Gulf County Florida + $50 AMEX Giveaway

This post brought to you by Gulf County Florida. The content and opinions expressed below are that of LDR Magazine.

If you and your loved one are seriously overdue for some time alone together to get away from the distance, the stress of living life apart and everything in between -running away to Gulf County, Florida is always a great option.

From its breathtaking sandy white beaches to its restaurants & music scenes, this beautiful section of the sunshine state offers countless natural attractions, events and experiences for every type of vacationer. Access to kayaking, all types of fishing, hiking, biking, bird watching, snorkeling, diving, paddleboarding, ecotouring, boating is no more than 15 minutes away at any given point in the area. You’ll never find beauty quite like this anywhere else.

GCFLJunoniaShell_Web

Did we mention its an absolutely amazing destination to host your Wedding? Uncrowded sandy white beaches, perfect views and the most amazing sunsets! Even the local businesses there are set and ready to provide everything you need to make your special day one to remember. You’ll fall in love with the locals while feeling free and right in the middle of where you want to be.

GCFLBeachDunes_web

The months of September through May are prime season for visiting this sweet, southern vacation spot which is why everyone is buzzing about this INCREDIBLE destination! Whether you’re a thrill seeker, or a nature lover the Gulf County concierge program & Adventure Guide can help you plan your adventure and find so much to experience because there’s truly something for everyone!

Here are four of the best reasons to put Gulf County, Florida on YOUR travel bucket list this year:

1. You Can Ride Horses On The Beach

GCFLBeachHorsebackRiding_Web
OMG, who would NOT want to try this? When you choose to visit Gulf County horseback riding is one of the many activities that sit just beyond your door. Horseback riding alone is a beautiful activity for couples because its a beautiful way to bond together, but horseback riding on the beach is new experience entirely.

Every couple should try this, it’s so romantic! Imagine riding horseback along a white sandy beach at sunset with dolphins waving hello from the sun-tinted waters. It’s like something from a movie, except totally possible -even the dolphins part. It’s an amazing way to make a beautiful memory together.

2. Shark Fishing Is A Thing!

GCFLComingInAtSunset_Web

Maybe you and your special someone are thrill seekers! Looking for the next exciting thing to check off of your bucket list. No horses on the beach for you, SHARK FISHING is more up your alley.

How many people can say they’ve caught a shark? You could! What we love most about this is that you can actually catch and hold an 8-ft tiger shark in your hands just before releasing it back into the water. Perfect photo-op? We think so!

3. Visit A Different Beach Every Day

GCFLBoatingTipOfCSB_Print
Gulf County Florida has 244 miles of coastline so you can literally visit a different beach everyday. And every beach has a different vibe, feel and activity for you to try. There’s tons of Beaches you can discover in the Adventure Guide to see which one would be right for you!

Scallop in the bay, go shelling on the tip of the Cape or scoop blue crabs from off the beach. Cook what you catch by the light of a bonfire and enjoy a magical night together every night. There’s so much to do. And because every experience is enjoying a bit of nature, you never have the same adventure twice.

4. Enjoy Your Own Private Island

GCFLBlacksIslandClubHouseView_Web
You spend so much time apart from your loved ones when you’re in a long distance relationship, so why not go the other extreme and enjoy your own private island for a day! Instead of the world keeping you apart from each other, you can tuck yourselves away from the rest of the world and just enjoy YOU there in the moment TOGETHER.

I’d love the Adventure off the Bean Path! We’ve been to Florida a few times, but mostly the “beaten path.” We liked it , and I’m wondering about all the places that are nice to see that you wouldn’t know about unless you have a trip like this!

Being able to stay with my SO on a private island to ourselves would be the most wonderful thing. I’d love to ride horses with him and just watch the sunset as we held hands, sitting on the beach together.

I’m going to Florida for Spring Break next year so I loved reading the Adventure Guide!! The Adventure off the Beaten Path sounds so like me!! I love the fact that there’s a lake and that you can see all of the wildlife!

Reply

I’d really love to explore Joseph Bay. I’ve never been kayak fishing so I think that would be really cool. I love the idea of pedaling instead of paddling 

Reply
linda August 29, 2016 - 5:29 pm

I went to Gulf County last year with my friends and had an amazing time. We didn’t get to do any of the things on the Adventure Guide but the next time I go, I will definitely be trying the “Adventure Off the Beaten Path.”
