Guide to Destin FL

Destin, Florida is renowned for its dazzling sugar white sand beaches and emerald green waters, which have earned the area the moniker "Emerald Coast." Recently named " One of the Ten Most Beautiful Places in America" by Good Morning America viewers, Destin paints a beautiful backdrop for fun.

Within the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico is an unprecedented playground for anglers, kayakers and divers. Heralded as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," the Destin Harbor is rich with history while off shore its waters offer an abundance of snapper, grouper, marlin, pompano, among many other species of fish. Near shore, there's parasailing, jet skis and catamarans for an exciting, different view of the coast. Dolphin and dinner cruises offer additional authentic, nautical experiences for those who enjoy being out on the water.

For land lovers, the breadth of activities is endless. Championship golf courses and shops complement fun attractions, including Big Kahuna's water park, The Track, and the Gulfarium, among others. Silver Sands Factory Stores, billed as the nation's largest designer outlet center, features more than 100 brand name stores. While Destin Commons is a delightful mix of one-of-a-kind shops, nationally-recognized stores, kids activities, a movie theatre and diverse dining options. Spirited celebrations and annual special events create a festive atmosphere within this coastal paradise.

Get a little sand in your soul and experience the beauty of the Emerald Coast for yourself by booking your own Destin vacation!
