This is a huge attraction in Destin with restaurants, bars, shopping, water activities, and a beautiful resort (Emerald Grande).
Harborwalk Village | Emerald Grande At Harborwalk Village
This is the perfect place for cooler days, or a break from the beach! Tons of fun activities for the kids including bumper cars, rides, put-put, and an arcade!
The Track - Destin
We absolutely LOVED this! This was the perfect rainy day activity. Not only was it fun and interactive, but it’s educational too! Animals are often brought here to be rehabilitated after injury or sickness through their C.A.R.E. Program.
Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park
This was a fun spot to take the kids. It’s a restaurant, but it’s also a walk through museum of sorts.
Gator Beach - The World's Greatest Alligator Park
We loved this rental because it was close to the beach, kid friendly, had a large walk in pool area, and was affordable!
Sterling Shores Condos
Siesta Key, FL
Siesta Key is the definition of a coastal town. There’s no big name resorts, the village is very walkable, and the beach is beautiful (#1 in the US).
This place doesn’t get enough hype. It’s so fun and the food is great! This is family friendly, but it’s also great for a fun date night!
Siesta Key Oyster Bar
Marco Island, FL
Delicious low key dining. Try the Mahi Mahi!
Pinchers
This is the cutest little craft/home decor store! We visit every time we’re here and there’s always cute new things to see.
