[quote=rattlenhum]Except for FWYC, I have no personal knowledge of Choctawhatchee launching. Gulf sailing access in Mexico Beach was good before Michael at least. Have bay-sailed out of St. Andrews YC and Carl Gray Park in Panama City. There are some campsites at St. Andrews State Park with room to beach a cat, too. West from there to Ft. Walton is a zoo. Sound sailing at Navarre (Juana's) is great as Tim knows. We used to rent gulfside houses and sail in the gulf there, too, but that was a long time ago. You can launch into the bay at Quietwater Beach just down the street from Key Sailing in Pensacola Beach. Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are on par with Destin. We vacation at Dauphin Island and sail in the gulf. The sand/water aren't as nice as points east, but it's laid back with little commercialization and lots of wildlife...and a shorter drive.
Whereever you go, even if it looks like easy access, I'd always recommend checking with local authorities about keeping a boat on the beach and overnight trailer parking. (You're not even supposed to park overnight in the lot next to Juana's....she gets a special permit for the regatta.)[/quote]
