5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for a Panhandle vacation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pelican Guide to the Florida Panhandle (Paperback)
I had no idea that the Florida Panhandle had so much to offer. This author definitely knows the territory - I felt like I got all kinds of inside tips on where to go and what to do --- plus I couldn't find any other source of information specifically dedicated to the Panhandle
