The Ultimate Girls' Getaway In Destin, Florida: Relax, Explore & Make Memories

Relax & Enjoy Beach Time 

The #1 activity on any girls trip to Destin or Scenic Highway 30A is relaxing and connecting on the beach. With the sound of the surf and seagulls as your backdrop, friends can gather on the beach and share all the juicy details of their lives. Paired with shade, beverages, a beach picnic and an occasional dip in the Gulf to stay cool, it is easy to linger longer down by the shore. To make your stay even more enjoyable, seek vacation rentals that include daily beach service to have a chair and umbrella awaiting your arrival at the beach. If not, rent your own from a beach services vendor such as La Dolce Vita, which offers daily or weekly chair rentals.
