I live in new market northeast of Huntsville. It's a great place, good schools, and the commute is not bad to the arsenal. I've got a few buddies that work on the arsenal they seem to like it.
Cape San blas and st. George island are both secluded beaches. St George island has a little more to do. If you decide to go too cape San blas go to Indian pass raw oyster bar to eat, also triple tails is a dang good restaurant around cape San blas (it's cash only though).
Just got back from Mexico beach/ port st. Joe area. Personally one of my favorite on the gulf. Bunch of mom and pop restaurants. The water clarity can be a little murky, but that because of the intercostal water way. Cape San blas is awesome if your wanting quit secluded beaches. St. George...
