Destin, Florida in Okaloosa County, located on the Gulf of Mexico's "Emerald Coast" draws millions of visitors each year.  With the undeniable beauty of the aquamarine waters that surround Destin and the sugar-white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see, it is no wonder people of all ages are drawn to this area year after year.  With countless fun things to do, "boredom" is an unknown word here in Destin.  If hunger sets in, The Crab Trap restaurant on Scenic Highway 98 serves up gorgeous ocean views and platters of delicious seafood including Amberjack, Cobia, Red Snapper, Gulf shrimp, and oysters, and for the landlubbers; chicken and steak.  Move west to the end of the peninsula to Jackacudas for enticing Sushi, seasonal Ceviche, and sandwiches.  And never forget to drop by Margaritaville for a "cheeseburger in Paradise". Then take a walk on the beautiful Boardwalk at Harborwalk Village or watch the many charter boats come and go along the gorgeous Destin Pass.  Known as "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village", and the "Billfish Capital of the Northern Gulf", thanks in large part to the deep, rich waters of Desoto Canyon uniquely close to shore.  Each year fishermen from all over converge on the area in the month of October for The Destin Fishing Rodeo.  And those more interested in eating make sure to be at the annual Destin Seafood Festival, also held in October.

For the shoppers, the 110 stores in the Silver Sands Outlet Mall or the numerous stores and boutiques at Harborwalk Village will meet the needs of even the most discerning buyer.  Many celebrities and notable people own homes in the Destin area.  Among those are Singer/Songwriter Sheryl Crow and Bestselling Author John Grisham.

Kids and adults alike will have a blast at Big Kahunas Water Park or The Track, a family recreation center featuring Go-Karts, mini-golf, bumper boats or bumper cars.  After a great day in Destin, enjoy the serenity of a luxurious room at the stunning Emerald Grande where a sunset view from the balcony is the perfect toast to the end of a perfect day in Destin, Florida.  Come and feel the magic in the air!!!
