So Far So Good!

There are still no impacts to Franklin County beaches and shores. Our beaches and seafood harvesting areas continue to be located well away from any potential impact as identified on NOAA’s daily trajectory maps.

State environmental agencies report the fisheries, wildlife and seafood in our area are safe and there are no alerts at this time. Air quality reports for May 16 revealed that air quality throughout the panhandle area was considered good based on the ozone and fine particulate matter (PM) measurements. “Good” air quality means the air is satisfactorily and air pollution poses little or no potential risk.
If you are planning a trip to Franklin County and are concerned about any potential impact from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, the Franklin County Tourist Development Council (FCTDC) encourages you to check with local lodging providers in order to get the most up-to-date information. To make it easy, we’re providing you a direct link here to all of Franklin County’s accommodations.

We believe that planning your vacation to Northwest Florida’s Natural Coast should be the beginning of a great experience. So, we encourage you to use our site www.anaturalescape.com to explore attractions, natural amenities and cultural heritage as well as our beaches.
