I need to see some water but we do not want to travel too far - maybe as far as Pensacola from New Orleans but I want to be ON a beach!

Have looked but can't find much on the Gulf beach. Anyone have a suggestion?

Condos have made ON the beach almost a thing of the past.
At Destin, a little east of your planned area, is one
private park on the beach....$$$$$$$$$$$$$. And, at or
near Destin is Hendson State Park, a fine place.

At Navarre, there are two good parks on the beach, but on
the SOUND (inside an island)..Emerald Beach and Navarre Parks.

At Pensacola there is Fort Pickens, a federal park, between
Pensacola Bay and the Gulf, with access to both.

At Perdido Key FL, Playa del Rio is on the inland waterway.
Tight spaces, but a good place.

On highway 180 west at Gulf Shores is Fort Morgan Park,
on Mobile Bay, with a pier, but no beach.

A new park has opened at Navarre, on the sound. I don't
know the name.

Go to rvparkreviews.com and look under Destin, Navarre FL,
Pensacola, Perdido Key, Orange Beach AL, and Gulf Shores AL.

P M me if you have questions.

If you're willing to drive a few more miles east of Pensacola to Mexico Beach and beyond, you'll be in Florida's "forgotten coast". St. Joseph and St. George SPs will put you on the beach in a matter of steps; Same with Ho Hum RV Park in Carrabelle, FL. The area is similar to what Florida looked like 50-60 years ago. Sleepy fishing villages, working waterfront, great seafood, miles of open beaches, low development, less crowded and slower traffic. A great place to enjoy the sun and relax.

Might want to look at Dauphin Island too. East end park has a short path to the beach and a ferry you can ride over to Fort Morgan for a day.

I've been around that area quite a bit and the only place I can think of that's almost what you want and near enough is Grand Isle State Park. It is very near (a few yards) but not on the beach.

Fairview-Riverside has a loop right on the river but there's no beach.
