Destin: Lively & Energetic
Destin's fishing fleet has earned it the title "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village".
It is also referred to as the "Crown Jewel of the Emerald Coast" as its spectacular beaches continually rate among the top in the country.
Destin Harbor Boardwalk
Destin Harbor is home to one of the largest charter fishing fleets in the United States. Scientifically, the underwater 100 Fathom Curve draws closer to Destin than to any other spot in Florida — creating the speediest deep-water access on the Gulf (one reason fishing is one of the staples of the town's economy).
On any given day charter boats stream in and out of the Harbor via the East Pass carrying eager sport fishermen on the way out, and heavy lines of fish such as red snapper coming back in.
Destin Harbor Boardwalk, at the west end of the docks, is a bustling shopping and dining complex. Walk down the docks in the afternoons to see the weighing-in of the day’s catch from Destin’s charter fishing fleet.
Boating is a big part of Destin's active lifestyle and community gatherings. Take to the seas on a dolphin excursion cruise or indulge the pirate within you and cruise on the Buccaneer pirate ship.
Relax Harbor Side
We get it. Maybe fishing doesn't excite you. The harbor also offers boat rentals for those who like to transverse our emerald waters in a more leisurely manner. Take to the waters paddling a kayak or kick back and simply sip margaritas on a pontoon at Crab Island.
Maybe dining on the catch of the day is more your thing. Destin Harbor and the community around it offers world famous dining and fun shopping.
Destin East Pass
The East Pass, located off the Destin Harbor, is guarded by the Destin jetties. For more than fifty years, these rocky fingers have served as popular fishing spots, snorkeling destinations and selfie backdrops. Their primary purpose, however, remains keeping the East Pass accessible. Presently, the jetties also attract brightly colored fish and serve as a snack bar for sea turtles and pods of dolphins. Don't forget to reserve your spot on a local snorkeling tour for an up-close view of this aquatic wonderland.
Destin's Crab Island has become a distinct tradition in Northwest Florida. Originally an island, erosion has since altered this landmark to a sandbar that sits below water that is shallow enough to wade in and perfect to pull up your boat alongside hundreds of others to enjoy a social, fun day in the sun.
There are lots of "floating" attractions including places to eat and even obstacle courses.
Crab Island: A distinct tradition!
Destin is blessed with some of the most phenomenal beaches in America.
Stretch out your beach chair on the crystal white sand and refresh yourself in amazing emerald waters.
Why go to the Caribbean when you can have Destin's beaches as your front door year round?
