Another view of the Emerald Coast


The Emerald Coast, located in Florida's Panhandle, has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the state. This shot was taken from a pier in Destin, Florida on a warm and sunny afternoon.

Absolutely amazing sky & that water is screaming for me to dive in! (I do tend to be a lil dramatic about "some" screaming things) LoL!

This greenish ocean and white sand are sooooo beautiful. Feels like taking some days off...

@ Ciel - It's fairly high but not excessively so...I think the angle of the photograph distorts the reality a bit. I would guess we were 20-25 feet above the water at that point...

Wow - you captured the sea in all nuances of emerald green, Jacob. And the cumulus are gorgeous.
Panhandle must be a great region for those seeking tranquility.

Gorgeous shot. I love that water.

Emerald green, indeed. I don't remember seeing those nuances in my bathtub. Gotta go back and check again.

@ Per Stromsjo - Here's how to get a green-water bathtub: Don't clean it for several weeks. ;-)

That has nothing to do with the emerald waters of the Emerald Coast, of course.

Oh my! That's so beautiful it should be a postcard or some sort of advertisement!
