Pensacola: World's Whitest Beach

It all started when I found this postcard at the local Wal-Mart:

Could it be true? Whitest beach ever?

I'll let you judge for yourselves.

Dude, I am kind of nervous about that guy with the metal detector in the water, or rather what appears to be the smallest ocean ever. HG

It's actually a little inlet. But yes, he was kinda scary.
