Destin

Destin has repeatedly been voted a top destination in international surveys and is known for its clear emerald water, sugary white sand, and carefree lifestyle. Miramar Beach, Seascape, Topsail, and Sandestin are often referred to as Destin as they sit side-by-side and flow seamlessly into Destin, but they are in Walton County. The Destin area is home to multiple hubs for shopping, events, and restaurants such as HarborWalk Village, Destin Harbor Boardwalk, Village of Baytowne Wharf, Market Shops of Sandestin, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and the Destin Commons. The Destin area has several resort-style golf communities which includes Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Emerald Bay Golf Club, Seascape Resort & Golf Club, Kelly Plantation, and Regatta Bay Golf & Country Club. It is known for its beachy lifestyle and people gather at hotspot Crab Island to enjoy fun on the boat and gather at AJ’s Seafood and Oyster Bar to watch the sunset and socialize. During the season, Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park is always a great place to cool off. Then head over to Henderson Beach State Park where you can enjoy a scenic stretch of beach and a natural walk and be sure to visit Henderson Park Inn and their Beach Walk Cafe at Henderson Park Inn to see why it was voted one of the most romantic hotels in the country. Popular events in the Destin area include the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation Concerts In the Village, Rock The Docks at HarborWalk Village, Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic, Destin Fishing Rodeo, Baytowne Wharf Beer Fest, Destin Seafood Festival, EMERALD COAST POKER RUN, and Sandestin Wine Festival.
