The kids seem to dig it.
This is filmed in St. Andrew's State Park just East of Panama City Beach. The left is the boat driving out of St. Andrew's pass, the right is driving in. The back side of this finger of land they are on has a very nice grass flat and if anyone recalls the photos of redfish and trout from my Cristobal road trip, those were caught wading on that flat.
There are three spots in very close proximity to where this was filmed that are all fun on their day, although two require a boat (for transportation, not wake) or some good arms and a tide table.
The beach and water is very pretty especially if it's been dry. I wouldn't drive 18 hours for it but I'd drive 5. I initially thought the longest left was going to be another Panhandle spot, but it's a novelty.
I am not sure what Florida's longest wave actually is, but there are a fair few inlet shoals and inside-the-inlet waves between Fernandina and Pensacola that, on a rare groundswell with favorable winds, are legitimately high quality performance waves.
