Beat the Heat with Ice Cream
Beat the Heat
Though succulent shrimp, good BBQ, fresh fish, and indulgent Southern cuisine are on the menus of local restaurants, there aren’t too many foods that define a Gulf Coast vacation quite like the humble ice cream cone.
Few vacationers can recall a trip to the Gulf that didn’t include eating ice cream as a welcome respite from the heat. Summer simply isn’t summer without at least one afternoon snack a la mode.
