every summer in the 70’s a couple of families from Tallahassee would spend a week in Mexico beach. (including the summer when ‘Jaws’ came out and no one would get more than ankle deep :)
I believe we would always try and stay at The Governor’s Inn or at least close by it.
we would also head over to Miracle Strip and Petticoat Junction with the pay one price wristbands. and- a nice dinner at Capt Andersons.
And- I seem to recall a really old run down mini-golf/arcade in Mexico beach- and we’re talking REALLY run down in the 70’s. I remember it was pretty ghetto but can’t remember what it was called.
Similar memories as a kid. We took the kids to eat at the pirate ship the year before it burned down.
Went back to Capt Anderson’s as an adult and realized what a tourist trap it was. Nice atmosphere but the food was mediocre. They just herd people through like cattle during the busy season.
