Destin Florida Vacation Guide

Destin, Florida rests on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Our miles and miles of glistening, powder-soft, white sand beaches are framed by the equally striking emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This collaboration has won the attention of travelers for years and inspired many awards. Destin’s beaches have been named “Number One Beach in the South” and one of the top five “Favorite Family Vacation Destinations” by the readers of Southern Living for twelve consecutive years. On our beaches, often referred to as the Emerald Coast along with neighboring Fort Walton Beach, people of all ages find themselves engaged in some of the simplest pleasures of searching for seashells, building sandcastles and watching the water for playful dolphins. Renew your senses and relax your mind at the beach.
