When you land
Things to do in Destin
Destin grew from a small fishing village into the Panhandle's best-known beach destination, and it still calls itself the World's Luckiest Fishing Village. The 100-fathom curve comes unusually close to shore here, so charter boats reach deep water quickly for snapper, grouper, amberjack and billfish, and the harbor is lined with restaurants, marinas and one of the largest charter fleets on the Gulf.
