If you would like to take a break from the beach while being on vacation in Destin, then I suggest you will be delighted to visit this enjoyable hands-on science museum. Emerald Coast Science Center is small, but full of great interactive, educational and fun activities for kids of all ages.

You can also play mini-golf with the kids!  The entire facility is well maintained and staff is friendly.  Prices for mini-golf are very affordable, and the kids are free. 

If you want to spend a little time learning more of what Destin was like before it became a big tourist attraction, this is the place to visit. The museum is an interesting little spot packed with tons of information and pictures on the history of Destin.

Destin, a lot of people wouldn't know, started off as a fishing village, and still has a very strong fishing industry. Today Destin is known as the World Luckiest Fishing Village.

Escape to a refreshing hideaway where you can unwind and rejuvenate. Admire the beauty of 161-acre park and the beautiful, turn-of-the-century Wesley Mansion with its elegant white columns and a wrap-around porch. Surrounded by moss-draped live oaks (more than 600 years old) and ornamental gardens, the Wesley Mansion inspires visions of hoop skirts and landed gentry.

The Destin Commons is a very lovely little outdoor strip mall with a little bit of something for everyone; from Build A Bear for the kiddies to Ann Taylor Loft for the ladies to Bass Pro Shop for the fellas to a movie theater for the entire family. They have it all.

Without any doubts, The Harborwalk Village is the most beautiful part of Destin. This is the place where you can feel the atmosphere of Destin and have a life time experience.

The Harborwalk Village has a little bit of everything. It is safe to say a visit here is a must while vacationing in Destin. The Village offers adventures for all to enjoy: waterfront shopping, water sports, boat and jet ski rentals, fishing, aqua adventures, dolphin cruises, clubs and nightlife, seasonal festivals, live entertainment, and an array of restaurants to satisfy all tastes.

Destin is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which name comes from its beautiful, emerald-hued water. Destin, Florida has long been one of tourists’ favorite places to visit along the Gulf of Mexico. The cool clear water and warm sun just seem to put you in a state of relaxation and enjoyment like nowhere else can. Beaches are famous with their extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles; this could be best choice for your vacation.

If you dream of spending a very exciting vacation filled with adventures, then Destin is the right place for you to fulfill your need for adrenalin. I think it won’t come as a surprise to you that you could do a different watersport every day of your vacation – from motor-driven watersports like waverunners to parasailing – each of those thrilling activities is at your disposal. You just need to decide where to start from :)
