🍩 **Some places become part of your family’s beach memories. The Donut Hole is definitely one of ours.**

The Donut Hole has been an Emerald Coast favorite since the original Destin location opened in **1978**. Santa Rosa Beach followed in 1989, and today there’s also a location in Inlet Beach.

For our family, though, it’s more than a place that’s been around a long time.

Our oldest granddaughter, **Madison, has loved the Donut Hole for years**, and we’ve made a lot of family memories there along the way. ❤️ There’s just something about walking in, seeing all those donuts behind the counter and trying to decide which one is coming home with you — assuming you can wait that long!

And judging by the crowds on many mornings, we know we’re certainly not the only family with a Donut Hole tradition.

**Destin • Santa Rosa Beach • Inlet Beach**

What’s your Donut Hole favorite — a particular donut, breakfast, or one of those amazing pies? 🍩🥧

Cheering on this tiny sea turtle making its way home! 🐢🌊 There's nothing quite like watching these little hatchlings reach the Gulf, knowing all the hard work that goes into protecting them. Huge thanks to South Walton Turtle Watch for everything they do to keep our beaches safe and clean. 💚

🌅 August Sunsets on the Emerald Coast

There’s just something about an August sunset here.

The heat of the day begins to fade, the sky starts changing by the minute, and even a familiar stretch of beach can suddenly look completely different.

Today we’re sharing a few of our personal favorite sunset photos — moments that remind us why evenings along the Emerald Coast never seem to get old. Some nights are soft and peaceful, others light up the entire sky, but they’re all worth stopping for.

If you’re fortunate enough to be near the water this month, make time to catch a sunset or two. ❤️

Which one of these skies is your favorite?

Follow Team Turner for more of the places, views, and everyday moments that make life along Florida’s Emerald Coast so special.

We are proud to bring this stunning lakefront lot to market in North Inlet Beach — nearly half an acre with 87.5 feet of frontage on Lake Powell, one of Florida's rare and protected Coastal Dune Lakes. From this lot, you can kayak or paddleboard all the way to the Gulf of Mexico and the secluded beaches of Camp Helen State Park. That is not a feature you find every day.

No HOA. No covenants. No existing structure. Just a blank canvas in one of the most remarkable locations on the entire Emerald Coast — minutes from Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and 30Avenue.

Listed at $899,000. Surveys on file. Full listing link in the first comment — let's talk.
