If you've never been to Destin, you're in for a treat. I'm sure you've heard that all before, but if you don't love Destin after one trip then you just don't like the beach. You won't find whiter, cleaner beaches, friendlier people or a better environment to take your family. Is that just hype? No, just fact. We've been traveling to Destin for over 25 years and we've never found any other place we enjoy any more. Oh sure there are resorts which offer more excitement, challenging entertainment, and exotic food. And, if that is what you are looking for, Destin may not be for you. Ahhh, but if you're looking for a pleasant atmosphere and a place to kick back, eat good food, and create memories for you and your family... you just have to try Destin.
You may be thinking that we're biased -- and of course we certainly are, but we're not the only ones who've fallen in love with this coastal paradise. Southern Living readers recently voted Destin as one of the top five beaches in the South!
"For the past five years, as part of the annual Southern Living Readers' Choice Awards, we've asked readers what they want when they hit the beach. Last year, five Southern coastal spots garnered the most votes from the 25,000 entries we received. The winners--Gulf Shores, Alabama; Destin and Panama City Beach, Florida; Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina--have all won before in the category, so they're doing something right."

Oh, and I forgot to mention the fishing. How can you think of Destin and not think of the fabulous fishing waiting for you. After all, Destin is known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village."
