Explore Destin-Fort Walton Beach
Family beach vacation? Romantic getaway? Adventure travel in your own backyard? Whatever kind of vacation you’re looking for in Florida, Destin-Fort Walton Beach is the perfect choice. Our emerald waters and soft white sands are your first stop if you want to relax on a beautiful beach. But that’s not all you can do here.
If you’re looking for activities and adventure, you can go swimming, snorkeling, SNUBA diving and more in the Gulf and the Choctawhatchee Bay. Or to get even further out on the water, rent a boat or book a ride on a charter boat. Either option is great for families with young children.
When you’re done on the water, head to HarborWalk Village and treat yourself to some of Destin’s delicious Gulf-to-table seafood caught by fishing boats earlier that very day.
