And just because the water may be cool and there may be a nip to the air, don’t forget to visit the beaches of South Walton along 30A and delight in the clean, fresh , salty air and the sparkling white sand that glistens just like snow.  I wonder if Santa parks his sled on the snow like white sand.  We will have to ask Rudolph sometime!
