| dtf1219's Full Review: Destin |
This is the part of Florida that no one knows about...the panhandle, with sugary white sands and emerald green water. I've lived in major cities and this cozy beach town has restaurants to rival them all, and fresh seafood that I can't even begin to describe. If you're looking for Miami nightlife, this is not your place, but it's the perfect family or couple's get-away. It's a true resort town that caters to the tourists. Water sports including fishing are great, ok snorkeling with great clarity/vision, and the harbor is a knock-out with its sunsets, restaurant/bars, marinas, and 'Crab Island' in the middle where the boats pull up and anchor in knee-deep water and mingle, and sometimes bump with the friendly dolphins that frequent the area. The swimming is fantastic here with very gentle waves and a gradual slope so that it stays shallow quite a while. Be sure to check out Sandestin and shop the outlet mall!
