Miramar Beach

Claiming the spot due East of Destin proper, Miramar Beach is often included in greater Destin but in fact it has its own zip code and is even in a different county. None of this is noticeable of course as you meander along scenic highway 98.The brilliant Gulf of Mexico is an incomparable backdrop to high rise condos, luxury beach cottages and local seafood restaurants.

However, there is one thing that tends to distract visitors for hours on end, the nation’s largest designer outlet center – Silver Sands Factory Stores. Resting a short walk from the beach and host to over 100 top designers, locals and tourists alike often lose track of time in this shopper’s paradise.
