Plan a Post-Holiday Getaway on the Forgotten Coast

All the gifts under the tree have been unwrapped, the stockings unstuffed and the Christmas feast devoured. The house is a wreck, the fridge is empty and your relatives are finally heading home. You survived the holiday whirlwind of get-togethers, gift exchanges and guests—and you’re absolutely exhausted.

It sounds like you need a vacation from your Christmas vacation! Look no further than Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Here are three great reasons to take a post-Christmas trip to Franklin County

1. It’s a great place to celebrate the New Year.
   Want to ring in the New Year Forgotten Coast-style? Many of our fabulous local restaurants offer delicious New Year’s Eve dinners and New Year’s Day brunch specials.
