Very close friend is having his wedding in St. Aug. Was originally scheduled for June, they postponed for August, and everything is full go. I'm supposed to be in it.

Originally had a big family trip planned around the date. Obviously, rescheduled. Wife and I are trying to decide what to do. She's flip flopped between thinking it's selfish to go and that just the two of us should go.

Considering flying into Orlando Thursday and doing wedding Friday. Then finding a beach house/hotel with private beach access for Sat/Sun? I don't watch the news, but you mention Florida and people get scared. Everything from the department of tourism makes it sound like the state is open.

Anybody in Florida or out of staters that have been recently? Reviews? Thoughts? What's the best beach within a 2 hour drive of St. Aug? What's the vibe?

We just got back from a quick trip to Pensacola Beach. PB didn’t require masks but Gulf Breeze (just over the bridge) did

There are some parts of Florida where restrictions are limited, such as northwest Florida, then others where things are extremely limited like South Florida. Orlando is probably a mix between the two. I have no idea how the east coast is reacting.

Just got back from Perdido Key - it’s a full go there for the most part.

Heading that way Friday (perdido)... anything new in the area? Enjoy hitting Perdido and visiting OB or Gulf Shores if we need that... alot quieter that way.

Key West is requiring masks inside AND outside... Most places are open except for places that are exclusively bars. They are closed...i.e Sloppy Joe's and a few others on Duval. But most places that are bars with food are open. They are strict about the masks. Cops were hitting their p.a.s in crowded spots outside reminding people to wear their masks. Gift shops, restaurants, museums, ferry rides, etc. are open.

Outside of Miami area and the Keys, its pretty normal all things Covid considering. I've talked to some people in places like Fort Myers that are very busy due to people going there instead of Miami.
