We had a beach house in the gulf of Mexico and it was amazing. The water is crystal clear and the sand is snow white. It was so pretty. I mean, you could see the bottom of the ocean and it was fantastic. It was the only ocean I didn't mind getting in because I could see my feet the whole time and I could see what was coming towards me.
I think you're going down there during hurricane season, so the water might be a little churned up, but still just as beautiful.
Either way, take pictures!
I love dolphins, they're so smart.
