If you've heard of Destin, but don't know anything about it, let me give you the scoop. Destin is located on Florida’s panhandle coast. It's the perfect place for a beach vacation because you can do a lot or do NOTHING! It's all up to you! But take a listen to Sonny on this one. Don’t just sit there. Get out and enjoy what Destin has to offer. Rent a pontoon boat or a speed boat and take in the waters around Destin. Or take it up one more notch by trying your hand at parasailing. Skip the boats altogether and go snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, or for the old fashioned types, just plain swimming in the sea. Let the saltwater keep you afloat. Dolphin excursions can take you out for a look at the gulf, the shore, and most likely a glimpse or two of the frolicking, friendly dolphins that call this their home. Glass-bottomed boats can also fill you in on the wildlife scene, so book a cruise if the family has a taste for undersea adventure. What a beach vacation!!! But that’s only the beginning.

There’s so much to explore here. For example, at Grayton Beach State Recreation Area you'll find salt marshes, nature trails, and fishing opportunities on Western Lake. It's perfect for swimming and picnicking in a slightly different setting (not that you'll ever grow tired of the immaculate beaches) and the scenery is of course lovely. Or for some kid fun, get over to the Track Recreation Center, where go karts, roller coasters, miniature golf, and other age-defying activities will bring everyone together for a few hours of laughs and running around.

When I say make your way to Destin for your beach vacation, what I mean is "THIS IS WHERE THE FUN STARTS!"

Dining and Restaurants

When you’ve worked up an appetite, hit one of Destin's many restaurants for a cold drink and a bucket of steamers. Enjoying seafood as fresh as can be will be one of the perks of this beach vacation. But so is the chance to dine at five star restaurants like Ruth’s Chris Steak House. One of the best parts about dining in Destin is the view that can be taken advantage of each evening. As you make your way to the table, be sure to request one that faces the sunset so that you may enjoy the stunning display along with your meal, savoring each bite and each brilliant hue simultaneously.

Shopping and Entertainment

Destin is also known for great shopping, especially if you're a bargain hunter. Outlet malls will let you bring home some rave-worthy souvenirs, or if you want something unique, check into the art galleries and local crafts for a Florida-style trinket. Continuing on, like in other parts of the state, golf is hot here. Attractive courses and a welcoming atmosphere will make you feel instantly at home if you're into this sport, so bring your clubs and plan for a top-notch experience.

If you’re getting the sense that a Destin vacation has a lot to offer, let’s put it this way. You’ll want to come back because you can’t do it all in one vacation!
