We just returned from 10 days in Feb. There are lots of great B&Bs off Simonton St which runs parallel to Duval. Stay back a bit from Duval which is a bit honky tonk late into the evening.

We stayed this time at the Sheraton Suites across from Smathers Beach. They shuttle you back and forth into town if you want every 1/2 hr, which we found fine and since the wind was blowing at the time we visited we appreciated their courtyard pool and it's protected chairs to sit and sun.

There are so many wonderful places to eat, but I recommend SARABETHS on Simonton for breakfast, Abundanza for hugh amounts of italian food, Petronia St--Bodega, Cafe Marquesa, which also has an Inn on or just off Simonton St.

I hope you enjoy the experiance.

You won't have time to go to the cementary with the famous tombstone that reads, "I told you I was sick".
