Learn more about Destin

Sugar-white beaches meet emerald waters along this stretch of Gulf paradise. Book a deep-sea fishing charter from the harbor, home to Florida's largest fishing fleet – they don't call this 'The World's Luckiest Fishing Village' for nothing. Dolphin-watching tours provide almost guaranteed sightings of playful pods that seem as curious about you as you are about them. Henderson Beach offers quieter shoreline escapes, while families flock to Big Kahuna's Water Park for slides and splashes.
