Destin is becoming increasingly popular with guests who do not want to leave the U.S during these uncertain times. The white sand beaches and beautiful clear emerald water rival those you will find in other popular destinations but require a whole lot less fuss to get here. One should note however, the vibe in Destin is very family-friendly and may not be the best destination spot for a wild beach party if that’s what you are looking for. There are other beaches in Florida that are better suited for the party scene.
Getting to Destin by air can be expensive or a bit of a challenge. No matter which form of transportation you use to get here, you WILL need a car if you want to make the most out of your trip. There are very few enclaves where you can be on the beach and have every accessible restaurant and main attraction within walking distance.
