February at the beach

When you think of the sandy beaches, crashing waves and the sun shining brightly, more than likely you think spring and summer.  Sometime from March through September am I right?  You may want to change your way of thinking because here in Destin we have been going to the beach in.........February.  I'm not talking about walking along the beach in a sweat suit (which, by the way, is nice too) but we are talking flip flops and swim suits.  We have had some absolutely beautiful days.  Perfect temperatures for tanning, playing or just relaxing under a beach umbrella.  Ahhh.......
