What Destin Offers
There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby. We love to visit the harbor area. Other popular spots are the Donut Hole for breakfast, the Back Porch with beach views for lunch or dinner and, of course, since we are from New Orleans, Louisiana Lagniappe. Dewey Destins and Beauchamps are located on the habor as well and are fun places to hang out.
Destin Commons outdoor shopping mall is a short distance away. It has a huge movie theatre complex, Hard Rock Cafe, Bass Pro Fishing shop, Johnnie Rockets, and all the mall shops you have come to know and love in a beautiful outdoor setting. The Silver Sands factory outlet mall is only seven miles east.
If it's deep sea fishing you like, you'll find many captains and shipping vessels for hire at the Destin Harbor, only three miles to the west of Pelican. Or, you might just like to walk along the docks and view the day's catch. Also, Fort Walton Beach, just a few miles to the west, has a new pier, where the fishing is reported to be wonderful.
The Emerald Coast was recently picked as the #1 Beach in America by USA Today readers and selected for the 8th year in a row as the Best Beach in the South and Top Family Destination by Southern Living readers! Coastal Living reported the Destin Harbor to be one of the top harbors in the US.
