Our family usually drives from Louisville, which is about a 9 hour trip plus stops.
Flying is also a nice option for those coming from farther away. Our recommended airport to fly into would be Panama City Beach (ECP) located 20-30 mins from Watersound.
Destin Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is another airport option but is about an hour and half away from Watersound.
Those choosing to fly and attending with multiple friends/family may want to look into getting a rental car. This stretch of 30a does offer ride share services like Uber and Lyft, but they are not as abundant as other cities.
Below are a few of our recommended places to stay. We’d love for you to stay close by and make a weekend of it!
