Chipley is the small, friendly county seat of Washington County in Florida’s Panhandle—a quiet, low‑key base with easy access to outdoor spots like Falling Waters State Park and the Seacrest Wolf Preserve.
Within an easy drive, Dothan, AL (about 34–35 miles) offers a regional hub for shopping, hospitals and nightlife, and Panama City/Panama City Beach (roughly 48–53 miles) brings Gulf beaches and larger airport/entertainment options, so multi‑week stays can still feel varied and active.
