The Tour Returns this Fall

BEACHES TO WOODLANDS TOUR RETURNS THIS FALL

Applications for Participants Now Being Accepted

SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla.—Applications for participation are now being accepted for the  9th Annual Beaches to Woodlands Tour of Santa Rosa County. Eligible events are staged weekends in October.

Applications will be accepted through June 1. Interested groups and organizations should fill out the interactive application. The event schedule will be released July 1.

“This is an exciting year for Santa Rosa County tourism and we feel the Beaches to Woodlands Tour is our chance to show off what makes us such a great place to visit, live and play,” said tour coordinator Karen Harrell.

The tour is presented by the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Council. Events stretch from the far northern edge of Santa Rosa County in Jay, Fla., to the Blackwater River State Forest, Historic Downtown Milton, Pace, Gulf Breeze, Navarre and Navarre Beach.

“The Beaches to Woodlands Tour has now become synonymous with Fall along the Gulf Coast,” Harrell said. “There is no better time to get outdoors and take a mini-vacation or a day trip than October.”

October is known as a shoulder season along the northern Gulf Coast and area accommodations and rates drop by as much as 40 percent from summer’s peak. Area camping, cabin and RV parks are also popular during this time as outdoor enthusiasts look to take advantage of milder daytime temperatures and cooler nights.
