Doug,

Go to Navarre Beach -- about half way between Ft. Walton and Pensacoal Beach. Go to Juana's. There are a lot of Waves there plus a lot of other cats. Juana's is a beach catamaran friendly beach, plus Juana's has plenty of cold Coronas. Very protected a nice place to sail cats. I keep my ARC22 about a mile west of there. Juana's also host several catamaran regattas each year. Check out their website.
