Doug, it sort of depends on what your route south is
going to be. If you're heading down 95 on the east coast,
there is a nice State Park right across the Georgia state
line. It is Fort Clinch on Amelia Island, unfortunately
anything on the Atlantic coast is not going to be very
private. You may want to consider it as a good stopover
point on the way to somewhere else and not a destination in
itself. There is also Anastasia State Park near St. Augustine.
   If you are looking for anything along the Atlantic coast,
remember that reservations are almost a most for week-ends.
Don't forget that Spring Break is looming as well, I have
no idea when it starts, just that I'd avoid it if you're
looking for peace and quiet.
   Doug S. had a suggestion of Ft. Pickens in the panhandle.
I agree that the panhandle is a better choice for privacy and
beach time. Also along the panhandle is St. Joseph Peninsula
St. Park. It is near Apalachicola (fantastic Oysters, check
out Boss Oysters Restaurant if you have a desire for such
delicacies). Route 98 along the Gulf coast south of Tallahassee
is a nice break from Interstate driving. St. Joseph's is on the
end of the peninsula and has miles of undeveloped beach. There
are hike in camp sites where you won't have a soul around.
Route 98 continues along the Gulf coast to Pensacola so you could
check out both if you desire.
   Pmail me if you want any other info.
