Darryl Jenkins, a travel adviser with InteleTravel, recommends the U.S. “Emerald Coast” on the Gulf of Mexico for those priced out of the Bahamas. The domestic alternative — which covers five counties of northwest Florida and the coast of Alabama — Jenkins says, has white sand, crystal-clear water and a laid-back vibe with reasonably priced beachfront condos and hotels. You can find bungalows tucked away on long stretches of beach, family-friendly activities like paddle boarding and fishing, and plenty of fresh seafood.
