Learn about Destin

The Destin area is famous for the beaches and the shopping. A little bit of paradise on the Florida panhandle, Destin is perfect for every family vacation, spring break adventure, or winter time getaway. The beaches are soft and bright and the water is some of the bluest on the gulf.

Your street legal golf cart is perfect for taking umbrellas to protect your skin, paddle boards to explore the ocean, buckets to create your best sand castle yet, and beach chairs to watch the world go by as you soak in the good beach life. Don’t forget sunscreen! 30A Sunscreen - 30SPF - 30A Gear

For a more aquatic experience, load up your golf cart with coolers and floatie toys and head down to the marina. From there, you can rent a boat to join the party over at Crab Island. Now a large sandbar, Crab Island features shallow water, perfect for anchoring and playing!

Looking for somewhere to eat after your Destin adventure? Locals and in-the-know tourists flock to Louisiana Lagniappe for their upscale feel with casual attire. Their seafood is always fresh and the marina views are sublime. (The Louisiana Lagniappe) Or, if you want a more toned-down meal, try one of the two Dewey’s Destin seafood spots.
