The adventure starts here...
Navigating along the Emerald Coast is pretty simple. US 98 runs east and west and provides the primary artery for transit from Panama City to Pensacola along the coast. US 98 is called the Emerald Coast Parkway east of the Destin Bridge and it's called the Miracle Strip Parkway west of the Destin Bridge. Much of the access to the rest of the area comes by way of several popular roads which spur from US 98. We encourage you to call our realtors for any question you may have regarding directions for locating your special areas of interest.
