Top Eight Things for Rednecks to Do in Florida?
So Much Beer, So Little Time
I don’t mean to suggest that Florida has a limited number of things for rednecks to do. Despite whatever claims Alabama and Mississippi think they have, Florida is the redneck capital of the world. You don’t have to worry about being shamed for your accent or attire. Come as you are. If you can’t locate your Confederate flag or MAGA hat, in these locations, there will always be a vendor available to sell you one; if you don’t mind, they were made in China. Here are eight places/events not to miss where you can get your redneck on, and nobody will care.
THE REDNECK RIVIERA
The Emerald Coast, better known as the Redneck Riviera, is a 100-mile stretch of beach in the Florida Panhandle. It admittedly includes a good bit of Alabama, but everything meaningful happens on the Florida side. I spent a few days at Panama City Beach, and I promise I saw nothing but rednecks. When in Pensacola, you’ll see a lot of Navy men and women from NAS Pensacola. Be sure to thank them for their service and ask for directions to the best local bar. You mostly came to drink anyway.
