Seasonal Selections: Fall 2024

The signature scent of bonfire smoke mixing with salty air. Warm, nourishing soups made with autumn’s harvest. Sandy sweatshirts and salt-water sprayed jeans. Days that end a bit too soon. A Gulf that looks more like a lake: flat, shiny, and calm… These are the things that feel like fall.

Here on Florida’s Northwest coastline, it’s a milder season. And, in some ways, it’s a season of renewal — a welcome breath of cool[er] air and softer sunshine after a long, hot, heavy summer. Gardens perk up and new seeds are sown. There’s occasion for cable knit sweaters (though we’ll probably peel them off around noon) and sturdy denim.

While slower than summer months, visitors still flock to our Emerald Coast during fall, bringing with them a perpetual sense of gratitude for our quieter, coastal life. We revel in their moments of respite.

And, above all, we rejoice in the season’s ample opportunities to gather, connect, and celebrate.
