Review:

The Destin History & Fishing Museum contains a number of exhibits depicting the history of the town and the fishing industry in the area. Visitors can admire vintage photographs of early Destin settlers and get a sense of what it’s like to swim in the Gulf of Mexico thanks to a 100-foot long display of fish caught in the area.

Other highlights include a large collection of antique fishing rods and reels, one of which belonged to Ernest Hemingway, and a seine fishing boat built in 1925 that is the oldest still in existence. Guests can explore the museum either on their own or with a guide.
