Moving to Tallahassee, FL after growing up in Kansas City. What Florida type beach stuff is around to enjoy?

I'm very excited about my move coming up to Florida, I'll be living in Tallahassee. I've visited FLA many times but never Tallahassee. I love to hang out at the beach, surf a little, scuba dive a little on weekends. What beaches and areas to do these things are a reasonable distance for Tallahassee citizens?

Although Tallahassee is 18 miles from the Gulf, its 2-3 hours to the nice beaches. If you like to surf, you'll need to go to Jacksonville (3 hours east) or maybe Panama City (2 hours west). If you're looking for just pretty beaches (white sand, not a lot of trash), Mexico Beach and Destin (just west of Panama City) and great. If you're looking to party, meet a bunch of college kids and "get you some" Panama City is your best bet.

Hi, I live just north of Tallahassee. The best thing about being here is the weather. The summers can be a bit long, but the winters are wonderful. The beach is still at least an hour away but once you get there it's great. Lot's of restraunts, hotels, bars, parties. We always make a week end of it and go to Panama City. The big deal here is sailboarding. Take hwy 319 south out of Tallahassee to hwy 98 and go west, there are all kind of beachesMoving to Tallahassee, FL after growing up in Kansas City.
