10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Destin Trip

Visit the Beach

No trip to Destin is complete without a day (or more!) on the beach. With its white sand and crystal-clear waters, it’s ideal for a peaceful stroll or simply relaxing with a good book. Just imagine soaking up some sun while it’s snowing up north! 

Try Your Luck at Fishing

Known as the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” fishing is part of Destin’s DNA. Whether you’re experienced or trying it for the first time, you can charter a boat and cast your line to see what you reel in.

Cruise with Dolphins

Set sail along the Emerald Coast on a dolphin cruise! These excursions offer stunning views (don’t forget your camera) and the thrill of spotting dolphins playing in their natural habitat. It’s a can’t-miss experience.

Discover Hidden Gems

In South Walton, there are 15 Coastal Dune Lakes, and they’re some of the area’s most ecologically impactful and interesting features. If you love connecting with nature, you’ll love to see these unique ecosystems.

Stroll through HarborWalk Village

Looking for some liveliness? Head to HarborWalk Village for great dining, boutique shopping and live entertainment. This vibrant area is a top spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Take a Sunset Stroll

Destin sunsets are truly magical and some of the most beautiful in the world. Wrap up each day with a leisurely walk along the beach as the sun sinks into the ocean — a simple yet unforgettable way to spend your evenings.

Paddleboard and Kayak in the Gulf

For adventure lovers, paddleboarding and kayaking in the Gulf of Mexico offer incredible opportunities to see marine life, including dolphins! No matter if you’re a beginner or a pro, local rentals and lessons are available to get you out on the water.

Explore History at Heritage Park

Take a step back in time while wandering around The City of Fort Walton Beach Heritage Park & Cultural Center. Here, there are four museums and a National Historic Landmark that’ll help you explore the area’s rich history.
