- The white beaches on the Florida Panhandle make up what's known as Florida's forgotten coast; its sandy beaches and natural beauty have remained trapped in time.

After the Civil War, Florida tried to sell off its pan handle to Alabama for a million dollars. Find out how and why Alabama refused in Aerial America: Florida: bit.ly/11LIpkW
Looks like that's the wrong link?
I moved to Fort Myers Florida 2 1/2 years ago and I love it here, I could never be happier. It is the most beautiful place in America.
Jarid Gaming I live here
+Bruni Yes, less degenerate liberals and bums.
Awesome man. But why Fort Myers and not Tampa, Miami or another Florida city? Just curious
As a Miami resident, I can say it, Miami sucks!
jose lago why
I live on the Emerald Coast. We are not forgotten anymore. We've been over run with tourists for the last 20 years. It is over developed now.
Sorry, but you or your folks or grandparents probably moved there from elsewhere too.
Um....who came up with the idea of the oysters and the Florida Gators analogy?
No more oysters coming from Appalachicola. Hasn’t been for a few years. Hopefully it will comeback, but it was overfished to collapse.
I remember taking leave from Ft. Benning, and staying at the Sand Dollar Inn on Tyndall AFB for $12/night in 1989. My God was it a place out of this world... Not crowded, GREAT surf fishing, peaceful, not much traffic in the sleepy little town called Mexico Beach. Visited Destin every year in the Fall until 2006, and boy what a change. Terrible traffic, crowded, different vibe. What a GD shame... Best beaches in the world.
Love the video.. great job and very educational... Cannot believe Alabama opted not to purchase the Florida panhandle for 1 million dollars... Many Thanks Alabama!
Thank you very much for that nice look at the Panhandle. I got a chuckle out of it because not too long ago a CZcams video erroneously called the main part of Florida the Panhandle
Wow the USA is the most beautiful country in the world 🇺🇸. Hope to move there from Canada one day after I graduate
Not true, but it's very beautiful.
Very nice channel. Enjoyed the videos
I have been going to The Forgotten Coast since I was 8 love it!
keep the developers OUT
Liberals what to keep everybody poor!
Make it a national park, then they wont legally be able to develop it :D
That’s not how Capitalism works.
@@GabGotti3 No, that is how crony capitalism works.
@@chamboyette853 yea okay, like there is a difference 😂
This video shows exactly why I live on Florida's Forgotten Coast.
Looks so beautiful and pristine
Whether it was on purpose (govt protection) or accidental, I am glad it is “forgotten”. Otherwise, the rich would go there, demolish everything to build golf courses, fancy mansions, etc. I hope it stays this way. I lived in Florida for about 4 years. Along with California, it is one of the most beautiful states in the US.
birds knew about ground effect before us.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to recognize that the pelicans were flying in ground effect...
Beautiful
I can’t wait to go to beautiful Florida
Yeah, that was strange and out of place. Other than that weird comment, it was a good video. Go NOLES!
I love the forgotten coast. Very peaceful
That was fascinating.
Fried oysters are a treat.
Thanks Alabama :)
Roll Tide!
Alabama got 14 miles of coast
For what? Its all condos and tourist now
@@johnperic6860 yeah it is. I live here. Do you?
Wow that was great
I can still get a laugh from my buddies anytime we look at a diagram or a map
We still ting for oysters in our oyster boats in South Mississippi. In the Mississippi Sound, where we have brackish water, we have our oyster reefs, shrimping and delicious fish! Florida is not the only place!
I love Florida so many treasures! And great people
I can’t find the full doc. It’s not at Smithsonian channel online either by this name unless it’s the Florida segment for Aerial America series. Does anyone know how to watch it?
Where is the full episode of Florida Aerial America, Smithsonian?
Wow!
Id be in panic if I was left there.
BTW, those dark patches in the water are schools of fish, not pollution, many times anchovies. I have seen these schools wash up in the surf, with Bluefish and Spanish Mackeral wash up on the beach catching them.
Super
Sad I moved out of FL. Born and raised there. Go canes
No, the air under a pelican's wings does not "compress". Air is incompressible at speeds below Mach. Check out your aero and try again. Read up on a reduction in induced drag.
That's pretty cool, would've liked this video if liked videos weren't counted in the CZcams algorithm.
Americans use Football Team waists to measure things but their brain explodes when they try to use metric system
DAMN YOU PELICAAAAAANS!!!!!
Keep it natural.
Song???
magic roundabout haha!!

👋 👋 Howzit. Is its STILL forgotten?
"This place is known as "The Forgotten Coast." Hrmmmm, how is it "known" and yet "forgotten" at the same time. My brain just broke.
It's over developed now and has been a place tourists flock to for decades. This video must be from the 90's.
I'd like to forget all of Florida
Yeah, it's so forgotten that 13.5 million people visited there in 2012, according to the Florida tourism board.
no, they didn't,not the forgotten coast..Appalach only has one flashing yellow light in town, and it's the only traffic light in the entire county...your numbers are for Panama City to Pensacola
Bruce Maddox that’s still the panhandle. Ronalds comment still is valid.
Oyster beds are about gone now, what a shame!
Yep pollution. My great uncle John Henry Cooper was the champion oyster tonger up into his seventies in Apalachicola. I sure miss ihim and the rest of my family.
Forgotten no more
The football team does not appreciate being buried up to their waists in oysters every year.
Which Team is the Oysters
Is it Florida Gulf Coast Polytechnic
Or Florida Coastal University
Or University of Northern Florida
Or.... oh y’all get it, Florida makes a new “University” every year.
I have bin to the real forgotten Coast
I guess the raw sewage that Atlanta pumps into the Chattahoochee/Apalachicola rivers on a daily basis makes those oysters big and tasty.
🤮
🤢 🤮
Yep don't eat fl shellfish we don't protect the water
If you are downstream of ANY metropolitan area, guess where your water comes from and guess what those areas upstream do.
I grew up in Florida and it’s been destroyed by over development and pollution. Beaches that used to be clear water and loads of fishing are now dirty and hardly a mullet to be seen.
Same. Central Florida still has some gems though if you stay away from Orlando and north of Lakeland. Lots of white tailed deer and clear streams
Just the other day the Supreme Court ruled in Ga vs. Fla. that Georgia was not responsible for the destruction of Appalachicola Bay oyster population. Georgia has been siphoning off large quantities of the fresh water on which the oysters need to survive. ...I was born in Panama City.
Undoubted,y one of the most beautiful beaches and water in the world, but florida has ruined it with massive and rampant overdevelopment making it most unpleasant to visit
But the video said it has not. So which is true?
Well there are no gates on the interstate and jets fly out on a continuous, basis so it’s ok if you don’t like it you can always leave or just never come back .
@@siriusstar99 But SG told me that he has a cousin who never has to go to the bathroom. What do you think about that?
@@chamboyette853 l have no opinion about that as I think that is an odd question. But you have a cute dog 👍😎🌴⚓️⛵️✌️Greetings from the Sunshine State.
all great ...until it ain't!
It will be forgotten when the water level rises from climate temps increasing and covers it.
Climatechangeglobalwarmingglobalcooling is a sham.
Floribama Shore!
Thank god alabama didnt purchase florida panhandles
Carl Watson The Alabama Coast is actually really nice sooo.
@@dimitripopovgurlukivich4166 yeah its nice but its only 14 miles...I live in Louisiana we have 5 miles of coast on Grand Isle and 1 mile at Rutherford beach and a couple of miles of coast at Holly Beach
What difference would it make, it would still exist.
2045 it will be under water
Why can't $cientology set up there instead of Clearwater?
A lot of comments say that the Panhandle is busy now, so the Scientologists probably have gone there, to find some money. I've driven through downtown Clearwater a few times since the pandemic started, and it looked like all their buildings had been deserted.
It's nice if you like hot and humid weather, hurricanes, tornados, bug infested beaches, heat and humidity, yeah I already mentioned but in this case it's so horrid that you've need to say it twice...! and yes nothing to do and full of Mexicans, Nigerians, Kurds and Cubans for neighbors...!
If ppl start fishing, undoubtedly it will get overfished and environment impacted. Government to regulate human activity to converse nature and natural resources.
Lost to Cuban immigrants! ! Jeez. Have you even been to Miami! !
this is a video about florida's panhandle coast and you are talking nonsense about cuban immigrants and miami i dont get your point
I only fuck with that pacific not that Atlantic 🤮
That not the Atlantic.
Good stay away... We don't want ya here anyway
@@rickbelcher4279 Will do!!
Im in Englewood,fl. The secret is out. Canadians, new Yorkers, and Europeans all buying down here. The gulf will be full in 15 yrs. 😩😢😢😢😢😢😢
Australian beaches look better
and carpet baggers have ruined it
