Destin is well known as the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village largely because of its roots as a top fishing destination and quick access to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Destin boasts the largest charter fishing fleet in the state of Florida. But, there is much more to Destin than charter fishing.
Destin has evolved over the years to be a top beach vacation destination. Featuring sugar white sand beaches and emerald colored water, it is an absolutely beautiful area. The town itself offers many upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities. Much of the development of the area has been done with luxury lifestyles in mind.
Destin also has one of the busiest private airports in the country. There are tons of things to do in Destin, water parks, water sports rentals, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, power boating, sailing, fishing, tennis, shopping, or just plain relaxing on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
No longer a small fishing village, first-time visitors are still discovering what brings people back to Destin’s harbor and shores year after year… the beautiful white sandy beaches, emerald green waters, friendly atmosphere, supreme dining, and, of course, fishing in the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village.”
Hello,
I am interested in visiting Destin this October. Was Desting impacted by hurricane Helene?
I would be my 1st visit to the area and I would like to stay on the beach. Can you give me any reasonably priced recommendations?
Jennifer, thanks for reaching out to us. No, Destin was not impacted by Helene. Everything is open and moving as usual.
Prices are reasonable right now, the September/October timeframe, and the weather is perfect. 90’s during the day, low 70’s at night. And the water temp is still 83 degrees, so people are still in the water.
Are you looking for a condo, hotel, or home? Pricing varies.
