Many people seem to be misinformed and are staying away, but the locals and savvy tourists are enjoying pristine beaches without the clutter of too many people.
Our hearts go out to the people and wildlife of Louisiana and the Gulf locations currently being affected by this disaster.
FloridaRamble.com will try to keep you up-to-date on the situation here in Florida at all the beaches we frequent.
Additional information can be found at the Florida State Parks website http://www.floridastateparks.org They have committed to updating on the situation daily and listing any parks that are affected.
If you have camping or cabin reservations, you will be notified if your stay will be affected by oil. You can call them for more information at (850) 245-2157.
I’ve stayed in some of these cabins and find them to be a bargain. If you enjoy this sort of camping, you might find a bargain in a cabin right now. Some people have been canceling reservations over fears of oil contamination.

As this website attests, there is a lot to do and see in Florida, more than beaches and Disney. Grab a bargain on a Florida vacation. Enjoy our still pristine beaches, lakes, springs, camping and other attractions. In the meantime, enjoy these photos of Maderia Beach, taken Sunday, May 23, 2010.
