Consider heading to Destin Harbor to watch the boats come in with their fresh catch and then enjoy a fresh seafood dinner at one of the many delicious harbor restaurants. Families appreciate our proximity to local attractions, including The Track, Big Kahuna's Waterpark, Gator Beach at Fudpucker's and the Gulfarium. Less than a mile away, Destin Commons features shopping, dining, bowling and a AMC Movie Theater. In addition, seasonally the Little Adventures Outpost is open at the Crystal Beach Access across the street, providing lots of fun, free kids’ activities and classes.

 

 

If you enjoy fishing, a group or custom fishing charter is a must. Recognized as the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village, Destin offers a wide array of fishing charters in the Bay, and the Gulf (nearshore and deep water). If you prefer watersports, you’ve come to the right place. From jet skis to boat rentals to stand-up paddleboards, watersports are popular local activities, and many guests enjoy taking advantage of our partner discounts for watersports and boat rentals. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water, consider signing up for a pontoon boat tour or rent your own, and spend the day at Crab Island (the underwater sandbar at the Destin pass).

 

 

The beach is the perfect place for relaxation and sunbathing or spending time splashing in the surf and building sandcastles. Take your talents to the next level with a sandcastle building lesson with Beach Sand Sculptures. While enjoying the beach, it is important to pay attention to the flag warning system indicating surf conditions. Red flag means dangerous rip currents are present and double red flag means the water is closed for swimming.

No matter what you decide, it's always fun to get out and explore all Destin has to offer!
