🌊 The Salty Experience

Shell Point Beach isn’t your typical Florida destination.

There are no crowds pulling your attention in a hundred directions.

Just water.
Sky.
And space to breathe. 

It felt like a reset.

And honestly… that was everything.

Pro tip: Don’t forget water shoes—the shells can be a little rough underfoot 👣


🍽️Gimme Some Grub 🦞

The Salty Donkey

Thatched roof. Waterfront views. Tiki bar vibes.

The kind of place where you can sit back, feel the breeze, watch the boats roll in… and not be in a hurry to leave.

💵 $20–$30 per person
🦞 Seafood (lunch + dinner)
🪑 Indoor/outdoor seating (Waterfront + tiki bar on the marina)

👉 Dockside dining done right 🌊


✨The Salty Takeaway

Sometimes you don’t need a packed itinerary or a long list of things to do.

Sometimes you just need:

  • The right people
  • A stretch of open road
  • And a quiet place waiting at the end of it

This trip wasn’t about doing more…
It was about slowing down long enough to actually feel it.

And somehow, that made it exactly what we
needed.

This kind of trip isn’t for everyone…
but if you’re craving quiet, you’ll understand.

🧂The Salty Details: Wakulla Springs, Florida

🌴 Quick Snapshot 📍 Location:  Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park 🏨 Stayed at: Day trip (Lodge available ~$158/night) 🍽️ Ate at: Hutton’s Seafood & More (Crawfordville) 💵 Price Range: $–$$ 🌴 Overall Rating: 🌴🌴🌴  🌊 The Experience Our Wakulla Springs adventure? A mix of excitement… and just a touch of chaos. 😅 Last weekend, Steven and I headed out on a little road trip with visions of a sandy “beach” and a relaxing day in the sun. Reality check: we arrived to a narrow, grassy riverbank instead (note to self—holiday weekends can be tricky). We had plans to hop on a boat tour… but only one boat was running and it was already booked before we even got there. Then came the plot twist—Steven had a reaction to something in the water, grass, or possibly a mystery creature. 🫠 So, we packed it up and called it a day in under an hour. Not exactly what we planned—but definitely memorable. 🎥 Sermon-by-the-Minute Moment Even though this trip did not go as...

🧂The Salty Details: Mexico Beach

  Quick Snapshot 📍 Location: Mexico Beach 🏨 Stayed at: El Governor Beachfront Resort 🍽️ Ate at: Port St. Joe (20 min away) 💵 Price Range: $$ 🌴 Overall Rating: 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 🌊 The Experience Ah… Mexico Beach. Tucked along the Florida panhandle, this spot is the definition of peaceful—white sand, emerald water, and none of the overwhelming crowds you’ll find in bigger beach towns. Before Hurricane Michael , we had only visited twice. Since then, our trips have been fewer—but each one has meant a little more. It’s the kind of place you don’t rush. You come here to slow down… breathe… and just be. We’re still getting to know this area, but it’s already becoming one of those places we keep coming back to—and we are excited to keep sharing more as we go. 🍽️ Gimme Some Grub  🦞 When we visit Mexico Beach, we usually head about 20 minutes over to Port St. Joe for food.  ⚠️ Pro tip: Watch the time change! 🦀 Get Wrecked (In the Tastiest Way Possible)  ...
