Staying in Destin

Taking family to Destin Florida for a much needed vacation. Never been and looking for places to eat and things to do. Suggestions?

Go to the waterfront. There is a margaritaville and different restaurants. There is also crab island where people rent boats and to hang out.

I’d shave about 60 miles off the trip and go to Orange Beach, Alabama, near Gulf Shores. Same white sand beaches, and a little less hectic. We went last August. We booked through Wyndham Rentals and got a fantastic condo for relatively cheap.

All I know is my kids ask, on almost a daily basis, when we’re going back.
