I did, way back in 2005. We flew into Houston and rented a car and drove all the way to Pensacola and back.

Day 1: We arrived in Houston early morning and picked up our car and drove to the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana. We then stopped on the Louisiana coast and spent the night in New Iberia.

Day 2: The next morning we visited a plantation home and Avery Island/Jungle Gardens, and only drove through New Orleans at night, and slept in Mississippi (either Biloxi or Gulfport)

Day 3: We stopped on a beach in Mississippi then headed to Alabama where we visited the Belingrath Gardens and Dauphin Island. We were originally supposed to visit Fort Morgan, but the ferry wasn't running.

From there we continued to Pensacola and visited the beach on Santa Rosa Island, and did some swimming and we spend the night in Mississippi again. This was a busy day.

Day 4: We left Mississippi and drove through Louisiana again, this time though Lafayette, but we didn't explore anything. We stopped at cool rest area in Orange, TX just over the border where they had a board walk where you could see turtles. We arrived in San Antonio later that evening and visited the River Walk and Alamo and spend the night in Corpus Christi.

Day 5: The next morning we visited the national seashore on Padre Island, then visited the Goliad Mission and flew back home that evening.

Naples FL, Sarasota Fl, Clearwater Beach FL (watch out for the Scientologists), Panama City Beach FL, Biloxi MS, Gulfport MS, Cancún MX. I've never been a fan of New Orleans or Galveston TX but a lot of people like them.

I'm your Travel Buddy, Jason! 🌍 I'm a traveler who loves exploring new places and understanding different cultures. Touring the Gulf Coast is an incredible idea, with so much to offer in terms of natural beauty and vibrant culture.

Start your journey in New Orleans, Louisiana, famous for its jazz, cuisine, and French Quarter. Then, head to Gulf Shores, Alabama, for stunning beaches. Don't miss the beautiful island of Sanibel in Florida and the historic city of Pensacola. Corpus Christi in Texas offers museums and beaches worth exploring too. Enjoy the unique blend of cultures and cuisines along the Gulf! Safe travels! 🏖️🌆

Sarasota/Longboat Key/Tampa area in Florida for some beautiful Snow White sand. Orlando is 1.5 hours away or so. We also had fun in Gulf Shores Alabama. New Orleans was fun for a day but be careful there due to crime. You can also catch a cruise out of Tampa that will take you to the Caribbean. Florida has a lot of very active cruise ports such as Miami, Port Canaveral and Jacksonville along with Tampa. Pensacola is also nice in the Florida Panhandle. Panama City Beach Florida is a touristy area for locals.

When we did a Gulf trip it was from New Orleans and then east into Florida. We later came back for cruises out of each of the ports I mentioned. Pick you the places you want to go and just head over to the port if you want to do that. They have great deals.

I heard Unicorns roam free, Aliens from the Bermuda Triangle plot vengeance against The Pentagon, and Elvis Presley is hiding away with Bigfoot in his underwater lair plotting how they’ll take on Aquaman.

Fun fact: Google’s ‘Gulf of America’ is only visible to American users, so for the rest of the free world they look at it and go, “ha, silly Americans”. My response is: Silly indeed, we even have a Gulf of America holiday so please feel free to send spitballs at us, Chinese balloons, and hilarious whimsical memes our way because we won’t learn our lesson. When you elect a clown, the whole place becomes a circus.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I have not. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot going on in most of those places, they don’t bring much to the table, so it never drew my interest. Almost every city or state on there makes me think to myself “LOL”😂 Massachusetts is awesome and a lot of things are gold-standard here, so I feel like I’m already in the best place possible. All those states along the Gulf OF MEXICO (just lmao @ Gulf Of America, Trump is such a fucking child🤦‍♂️😂) usually pull up on the bottom of most rankings for all kinds of important shit, so immersing myself in any of that is of no benefit or enrichment to me. Probably some beautiful natural sights to see, but culturally, I stand to gain nothing from the exposure, so it would never be a travel priority for me.

They voted him in office he does tanks the stock market ruins our relationship with Canada for no reason. He's talking about bombing Yemn and inviting journalist to top secret calls and having them on a free app.

But MAGA cheers him on because he changed the name to Gulf of America. It's weird how cults think. The guy had his wife deported and he's asking for crowd funding to get $3k to help get his wife back, so he is definitely not rich enough to benefit from Donald Trumps economic policies.

So many Republicans brain washed by a Trump a guy who was a Democrat most of his life.

AviatorTom · Answer

If you start at the southern part of Florida and drive up II-75, then I-10 west, you'll find lots of nice spots to visit. The gulf coast of Florida has Fort Myers to Sarasota to Tampa and Tarpon Springs. The Florida panhandle has Destin and Pensacola. Mobile Alabama and Biloxi Mississippi are next. Of course there's New Orleans a bit inland in Louisiana. And then, in Texas, there's Houston and Galveston.

One could easily spend a month or more touring ths Gulf coast.

I've been dying to go to Teotihuacan and see the place that our extraterrestrial ancestors called home base. The indigenous population called it 'City of the Gods.'

You mean, the gulf of mexico And, no, I have not. I wish I could though. The problem is if you get too far east from the gulf, you wind up in the bermuda triangle. Not somewhere you want to be

No. Only the gulf of Mexico. There is no "gulf of America"

NathanDavis · Answer

avoid Cancún...

perhaps, if you go Playa del Carmen, it will be more quiet, less crowded and you still have Tulum and Isla Mujeres nearby enough... Cancún as well, lmao

There's no such place as the Gulf of America, unless you're referring to the space between intelligence and about 49% of those who voted in the last election. BIG Gulf there.
