Digging holes deeper than the shortest persons knee can cause them to cave in , and bury the child and cause them to suffocate and die. Another thing is when riding on a boat with an inboard motor, there is a risk of open air carbon monoxide poisoning. Not sure if you covered these in the first video!

Next video! Not the boat one though, stuck to just beach side! And go into some more details on the holes!

Hey! Im going on a trip to the panhandle at the end of July. Thank you for this informative video! Great tips! ♡ Curious out of Pensacola, Destin, & Panama; Which one do you think is the safest? Or most kid friendly? Thanks so much! :)

You're welcome! So I haven't gone to pensacola yet (going in a couple weeks actually though!) - but it's less touristy/more residential than Destin and PCB/ not a vacation spot - and for that reason I *think* it makes way fewer headlines (e.g. 6 people died last weekend in PCB due to rip currents, and were all tourists). The highhhh majority of headlines from PCB and Destin beaches are tourist related (I don't think I've seen 1 local headline or heard of one either actually). As far as Destin or PCB it depends on age and interests of kids. PCB has Gulfarium, Ripley's, basic shopping at Pier Park, and a splash pad/good playground at frank brown park. They also have a just jump trampoline park i think which isn't as good as the tramp park in Destin. Destin has more to do overall. Urban Air Trampoline park, an open play gymnastics at certain times, and LOADS of those like waterpark/go cart little mini fair/theme park feeling places. It has way more shopping than PCB from outlets, to designer, to more basic. There's even a splash pad (not as good as PCBs) in the Destin Commons shopping center. It's definitely a more Myrtle Beach vibe in parts and more polished in others. Both are an hour from Ponce De Leon Springs if you want to do that instead of beach one day. I personally prefer the PCB area over Destin, and you're closer to the East End of 30A which is worth a walk around. Rosemary beach has lots of shade for walks, and Alys Beach is worth stopping at Fonville Press for a light bite and driving around the architecture (or walking if it's earrrllyyy morning or late evening in July). But really you'll have fun wherever on either end.

@theconfusedmom thank you so much for your response! ♡ I saw the headlines about the unfortunate drownings at PCB & that definitely made me nervous! My daughter is 11 & her uncle, who will also be with us, is 7. (lol, odd, I know.) So if the riptides at PCB are extra crazy lately, maybe I shouldn't take the kids there? 😭 The ocean is a scary place! Lol, not to mention the recent shark attacks. Whew, lordy. We will also have my husband's grandmother with us, so she's hoping for a calm, relaxing vibe. Idk. Maybe there's some magical place in the middle of Pensacola & PCB that isn't too crowded, has a relaxing calm beach, but still has a few activities for the kids, while also being extra safe? 😅 maybe you know some hidden gems & can help a girl out! 🙃 I've been online a lot since we decided to take the trip & the whole 30A area is SOOOO cute! At some point I definitely want to check it out. The first half of our trip will be somewhere in the panhandle & then we will travel further down to Sarasota for the second half of our trip. I'm kinda dying to see the siesta key beach. It just looks so lovely. ♡ So honestly, if there's any must-sees between Pensacola & Sarasota, I'd love to hear about them. :) Thanks for mentioning Ponce Deleon Springs! I haven't even heard of it & it looks pretty great! 😍 I'm sorry for the million questions btw! 🤣 I took a trip to Galveston last summer & it was the first time I'd seen the ocean & it was life-changing! Everyone says Galveston is nothing compared to Florida so I know I'm going to be super impressed anywhere I go, but as excited as I am, I'm also extremely paranoid because of all the scary headlines making way! 😅 Okay, I'm going to stop rambling now. Thanks so much for your advice & and recommendations, seriously! ♡

@@brooke4724 No problem! Yeah so what I was saying, is that the rip currents aren't any crazier in PCB vs Pensacola - both had 3 days of the beaches being closed last week. PCB just makes more headlines because more tourists = more accidents from people not knowing any better while Pensacola is more residential. Same beach conditions generally. So the calm relaxing vibe will 10000% be in Sarasota/Siesta key! A TOTALLY different experience of the gulf than the panhandle! You still have sharks and things but rip currents are not anything like the panhandle and much less frequent. In my next video I also talk about my theory on "why" the shark attacks and things are happening in the spots they are. Really big thing to remember, is just know your limits and don't do more. I've been seeing many more people just sitting at the shoreline where the waves break the last week or so having just as much fun. I have another video on the topic coming out thursday. I would say look at your panhandle stay as more flexible, like if it's a gorgeous beach day enjoy it, but also be ready to drive 30-45 min from PCB or Destin to 30A to explore (because it's worth a walk around). You can check out a coastal dune lake at Camp Helen if in PCB or Grayton more towards Destin, and those are cool - look up the tides and go during high tide for it be clear like the Gulf, low tide will be more lake like. I will say my absolute FAVORITE florida beach is Anna Maria Island which is justttt north of Siesta Key. There's a little spot called Bean Point, that is a MUST SEE if you want to really have your socks blown away. Prettiest beach in the state IMO and I've been to almost all of them at this point lol

@brooke4724 19 күн бұрын

@theconfusedmom oh okay, I understand. Thank you for all your help! I will DEFINITELY be checking out some places you suggested, if not all of them. :) Especially Bean Point! It looks GORGEOUS! 😍 & I will check out all your videos that have anything to do with anything I may need to know from now until our trip! 😊 Thanks again for everything! ♡ I guess my last question is: Is the panhandle worth staying at, or do you think the sarasota area would keep us all entertained the whole 10-day trip/ blow us away beachwise? Cause we could always just head there instead. (after we check out 30A, of course) Or do you think there is something so awesome in the panhandle that I don't want to miss/ can't get in sarasota? You have been so helpful, I can't thank you enough! I'm so glad I was paranoid & decided to look up beach safety tips! 🤣 It must be so wonderful to enjoy those beaches & views every day! 🤩 Anywhere from Northwest Louisiana is a vacation, but I literally can't wait to see your beautiful state! 💛

@@brooke4724 I think to break up the drive it definitely is worth a stop! I would probably more days in Sarasota area. The sharks are going to be everywhere, they it's the gulf in summertime... the rips can happen anywhere with the summer storms, but are significantly more likely in the panhandle. So just have your expectations managed, it's not always calm and crystal clear like like social media shows (but more like the clip I showed with double red, that's how it's looked in the panhandle for the most part the last week). And remember these headlines are NOT the norm/common. Our county gets like 3 million visitors a year, which means like a .00001% chance of something happening to you. If you're stressed/alert, you're already more on your game than most!
