It’s time to start planning your next summer trip, and we have the perfect area of Florida to consider. Florida’s Emerald Coast is the unofficial name for the coastal area of Florida which stretches around 100-miles and includes five different counties. Not only will you find what has been dubbed the cleanest water in the state here, but also the clearest, and we have the photos to prove it.
