点评:Hubby, , teen son, and I drove down to PCB from northern Michigan earlier this month. Our first time staying in the Florida panhandle. Spent total of 5 days and 6 nights here. Rented an amazing beachfront condo through Airbnb - Rm 1301 in the TidewaterBeach Resort. Our first full day in PCB we lazily got up and around and headed down to the beach with our chairs we brought after we ate lunch. It was breezy but only one red warning flag posted so we could go into the gulf and swim, etc. without being fined. The rental chairs on the beach cost $50/hr! So glad we brought our own. We walked each direction on the beach alternating days, one of our highlights. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side after that day. The winds called for double red flags so no swimming in the ocean. The 2 outdoor pools are each on the side of the 39 story resort and the chairs there didn’t come out these days due to wind and storms. There were tornado watches as well. The temps here were in the 70’s the week before ours but in the 60’s and cooler while we were here. It made for cooler temps when the it rained because of the wind but we still did our beach walks. One silver lining was the resorts did not rake their beachfronts so we found a very few little whole shells! Another goal of ours. We thought there would be way more. We had reserved a full day mid week for a pontoon boat to cruise around St. Andrew’s Bay. On our first day in PCB, I noticed the weather was not looking good for outdoor stuff so I called Beachy Boat Rentals who kindly changed our reservation to Friday, our last day there. Hubby Eric has a lot of experience operating various types of boats so we did ok crossing a large part of the bay to get to Shell Island and we collected a few more shells, but they were far and few between even there. We ended up heading back to the marina a few hours early as it was so choppy, we were getting really wet and cold. And we’re tough and used to cold weather/water. It was beautiful! We ate dinner out every evening and really liked a few of the restaurants for their seafood, reasonable prices, and atmosphere: Dusty’s, Sharkey’s, Hook’d, and Margaritaville. There are many places to eat here! There are also a few decent grocery stores nearby. There are several places where you can access the beach if you aren’t staying on it. Pier Park is a nice and safe and clean shopping area across the main beach road, Front Beach, and you can either park to the west of Pier Park in the big lot, or take a shot at pulling into a parallel spot along the road, beachside. We did both. There are several little shops and restaurants in Pier Park, and a large Ferris wheel and other activities. Very touristy. It’s across Front Beach from the long pier which we walked out on to the first evening. Hubby got to check out just how they were fishing, etc. He went fishing there the next day with his wagon (we brought from home) full of supplies but he didn’t bring his fillet knife! So the 3 x 22” Bluefish he caught he gave to others!!! Oh well. He had a nice time, and that’s when my son and I shopped Pier Park. While March is the big Spring Break month, April isn’t so much so it wasn’t packed, not lots of traffic, hardly any noise and partying (yep, I’m getting old! Been there, done that!). Overall, I’d go back again and would hope to have better weather. There are lots of things to do for families with small kids, we noticed.
翻译:本月初,我和老公、十几岁的儿子从密歇根州北部开车来到 PCB。这是我们第一次住在佛罗里达狭长地带。在这里一共呆了 5 天 6 夜。通过 Airbnb 租了一套很棒的海滨公寓 - TidewaterBeach Resort 的 1301 号房。在 PCB 的第一天,我们懒洋洋地起床,吃完午饭后,带着我们带来的椅子前往海滩。微风徐徐,但只挂着一面红色警告旗,所以我们可以进入海湾游泳等,而不会被罚款。海滩上的租赁椅子每小时 50 美元!很高兴我们带了自己的椅子。我们隔天在海滩上往来走,这是我们的亮点之一。不幸的是,那天之后天气就不太好。风要求挂两面红旗,所以不能在海里游泳。2 个室外游泳池分别位于 39 层高的度假村一侧,由于风暴和暴风雨,那里的椅子这几天都没有搬出来。还有龙卷风警报。我们来这里的前一周,这里的温度是 70 华氏度,但我们来这里的时候是 60 华氏度,甚至更凉爽。下雨的时候,风会吹得更凉,但我们还是会去海滩散步。值得庆幸的是,度假村没有清理海滩,所以我们发现了一些完整的小贝壳!这是我们的另一个目标。我们以为会发现更多。我们预订了周中一整天的时间,乘坐平底船游览圣安德鲁斯湾。在 PCB 的第一天,我注意到天气不适合户外活动,所以我打电话给 Beachy Boat Rentals,他们好心地将我们的预订改到了周五,也就是我们在那里的最后一天。丈夫 Eric 有驾驶各种船只的丰富经验,所以我们顺利穿过了海湾的大部分地区,到达了贝壳岛,我们又收集了一些贝壳,但即使在那里,贝壳也很少。我们提前几个小时返回码头,因为海浪太过汹涌,我们被淋得又湿又冷。我们很坚强,习惯了寒冷的天气/水。那里太美了!我们每天晚上都在外面吃晚餐,非常喜欢这里的几家餐厅,因为它们有海鲜、合理的价格和氛围:Dusty’s、Sharkey’s、Hook’d 和 Margaritaville。这里有很多吃饭的地方!附近还有几家不错的杂货店。如果您不住在海滩,有几个地方可以进入海滩。码头公园是一个安全、干净的购物区,位于主要海滩路 Front Beach 对面,您可以将车停在码头公园西边的大停车场,也可以尝试停在路边的平行位置,即海滨。我们两个都停了。码头公园里有几家小商店和餐馆,还有一个大型摩天轮和其他活动。非常适合旅游。它位于 Front Beach 对面,我们第一天晚上就从那里走到了长长的码头。老公去看看他们钓鱼怎么样。第二天他带着满满一车钓鱼用品(我们从家里带的)去钓鱼,但他没带鱼片刀!所以他把钓到的 3 x 22 英寸蓝鱼送给了别人!!!算了。他玩得很开心,然后我和儿子去码头公园购物。虽然三月是春假的主要月份,但四月不是,所以那里人不多,交通也不多,几乎没有噪音和派对(是的,我老了!去过那里,做过那事!)。总的来说,我会再去,希望天气更好。我们注意到,对于有小孩的家庭来说,有很多事情可以做。
