You’ve done the beach and now you’re ready for something else? No problem! There is so much to do and see along our beautiful Emerald Coast, you won’t be able to fit it all in! From fishing, hiking, tennis, biking & golf to world-class shopping & award-winning restaurants, you will never lack a choice of activities!
The Spring & Fall seasons bring multiple festivals of wine and arts. Free concerts are offered daily in the Spring and Summer seasons at several of our area amphitheaters and resorts, including Seaside, Gulf Place, The Village at Baytowne Wharf and the Market Shops at Sandestin.
Want to experience deep-sea fishing? Mosey on down to the Destin Harbor and choose from an array of charter vessels to take you on your excursion. Or select a pontoon boat and motor yourself and your family to the Choctawhatchee Bay for fishing, swimming or exploring our many different bayous and canals.
Feel up to a game of golf? Tee off at one of our many championship courses, including Regatta Bay, Emerald Bay, Sandestin Resort, Indian Bayou & Camp Creek.
Is tennis your game? Lob with the pros at Sandestin, Tops’l or Hidden Dunes.
For the kids, we have Big Kahuna’s Water Park & The Track, along with multiple movie theaters and the Gulfarium.
Mom’s could spend days shopping at Destin Commons, Silver Sands Factory Stores and many more national chains, along with local boutiques, spas and galleries. Experience The Village at Baytowne Wharf or Seaside, pedestrian-friendly and filled with an eclectic array of shops and cafes.
Rent bicycles and peddle along our 27-mile path on Scenic 30A, traveling through the villages of Dune Allen, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seagrove Beach, Seacrest Beach & Rosemary Beach.
Getting hungry yet? There are so many restaurants along the Emerald Coast; even the locals haven’t visited them all! Do yourself a favor and bypass all the fast food and chain restaurants and ask the locals where to go, because you haven’t tasted seafood until you’ve dined in many of our local establishments. From casual to fine dining, Destin and South Walton covers it all. Destin alone has the most restaurants per capita as any other city in the nation!
Still have energy left? Enjoy dancing and cocktails in a large selection of venues, such as Harbor Docks, Fudpuckers, or AJ’s. If culture is your thing, enjoy a performance from the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra or the Philharmonic of Northwest Florida, or catch a play at Stage Crafters Community Theatre or Seaside Repatory Theatre. Dance, cultural arts, jazz...we've got you covered! See? Never a dull moment…until you need one!
