Destin Reviews

Destin really does have some of the most BEAUTIFUL beaches in the NATION! I loved spending a lot of time at the beaches during the day and also catching ghost crabs at night. The town has a lot to do and a lot of tourist attractions. There are really cool outdoor shops also dolphin tours, and pirate bats you can go on. Destin also has a very stunning natural landscape with a large diversity of animals, and different types of trees. I loved living here the only down side was it attracted a lot of tourists so there was always a lot of traffic, but once you are in town there are a lot of places you can walk to.
I really enjoy Destin! The atmosphere is fun, and the beaches are absolutely beautiful. The water is emerald blue and the beaches have white sand. The restaurants are good, and the people are so kind!
I've lived in Destin for about 4 years, it's a really great place for kids. The beaches are truly phenomenal, the shopping/grocery stores/dining is fantastic, and compared to Panama City or the LA and AL coast, the threat of intense storms truly isn't as bad. The nightlife is decent. There is a lot of transient folks here, a lot of military too, but when you do find other residence, the community is truly great! It's very flat, which is great for biking, and there are many gyms and of course a lot of water sports.
