Sugar White Beaches & Emerald Green Waters Make Destin Magical!

 Kids of all ages find joy at the beach!

There truly is something magical here.

 

Sometimes they whisper secrets or steal a kiss!

They see wonder in the tiniest shell.......

 

or in the blue, blue sky.

 Sometimes they sit for the longest
just sifting sand through their fingers.

 

Some kids need to be contained

or they will escape to new adventures.

Some need more action.

 Some kids prefer the pool!

No matter what they do,

kids always feel the magic here.

Sugar White Beaches & Emerald Green Waters Make Destin Magical!

Our visitors always ask what makes our sugar beaches so white
and what makes our crystal clear water so beautiful.

We love to share the secret.

The unique sand of the beaches in the Destin area is among
the whitest and most homogenous of the world.

Consisting of small quartz particles, this sand came from a process involving the Appalachian Mountains and the Apalachicola River 20,000 years ago. At the end of the last Ice Age when the world temperatures began warming and the ice caps began melting, large volumes of water were carried by the rivers to the world’s oceans. The Apalachicola River, rising in the Appalachians, carried water to the Gulf of Mexico and continues today.

This water carried the quartz particles from the rock that forms the Appalachian Mountains and deposited them in the Gulf of Mexico, just 125 miles to the east of what is now Destin. As the sea level began to rise, these quartz sands eventually formed a new shoreline. The sands today continually replenish and reach as far west as the Pensacola Pass, their final destination.

DESTIN, FLORIDA - The World's Luckiest Fishing Village

Once upon at time................

Destin was just a small fishing village.

Now it has become the gem of the Emerald Coast!

Daytime and sunset sailing trips on the Blackbeard & Nathaniel Bowditch allow for a more relaxed pace on the water.

You can rent a pleasure boat for the day.

HarborWalk Village boasts New Orleans-inspired dining, open-air seafood cafes, harborfront shopping and more.



Deemed the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” Destin boasts nine saltwater world records.
There are always at least 20 species of tasty fish available during various seasons – more than four times as many as most destinations.


The old salt saying goes: “the bluer the water, the bigger the fish.” Attracting anglers world-over, the area sports the speediest deep-water access on the Gulf – up to 100-foot (30 m) depths within 10 miles.

Half-day and full-day private and group charter trips are available for offshore and back bay fishing.Charter boats range in size from 36’ to 65’ to accommodate groups of all sizes, in addition to even larger party boats.
