Review & FAQ:
Located on Florida's Emerald Coast, Destin is known for its crystal clear blue water and soft white sand beaches. The surrounding waters are home to a large fish population, which has led to the town being nicknamed "the world's luckiest fishing village".
The beaches and the fishing are the biggest draw to the area, but visitors also benefit from the excellent golf courses, world-class resorts, and plenty of superb dining opportunities. Every October, the city hosts its annual weekend-long Destin Seafood Festival, which takes place in the harbor and draws tens of thousands of guests each year.
