Calm Returns to Pass-A-Grille: Beautiful 4th of July Week

What a beautiful 4th of July week we had here along the Florida west coast! I feel bad for anyone who cancelled their Florida Gulf coast beach vacation because of fears that tropical storm Debby ruined the beaches. I suspect that all the sensationalized negative press created a lot of unnecessary cancellations. Saturday, 7/7/12, we […]

We stopped by Paradise Sweets for a smoothies. Summer is a great time to enjoy Passagrille since there are few visitors this time […]

Beach Days Are Here!

We almost didn’t find a parking space at Pass-A-Grille Beach this past weekend. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen it. Still, though, it was a very laid-back crowd.

Pass-A-Grille Beach hosts a Saturday morning art fair / market during the cooler season, which brings a lot […]

Pass-A-Grille Beach Slide Show

Pass-A-Grille Beach isn’t the closest beach to my house, but it is one of my favorites. On this day I took my bike to the beach with me (bikes aren’t allowed out on the beach here, but it’s nice to ride around the neighborhood) and stopped at my favorite places to snap a few photos. […]
