Stephen B.

Stephen B. has spent his whole life in North Florida, and he knows the Gulf Coast the way locals do: by the fish that are running, which kitchen has the freshest catch, and where to go for a cold drink after a day on the water. He studied at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, and he’s been exploring the Panhandle ever since.

For The EC Guide, Stephen writes about fishing, food, and drinks from Pensacola to Panama City Beach. That means charters and piers, seafood spots and local favorites, breweries, and waterfront bars worth the drive. At home, he shares his time with three dogs, who have strong opinions about which beaches are the best.
