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.
Families and second-home owners come for the sugar-white quartz sand and clear emerald water, the resort communities of Sandestin and Miramar Beach, and the planned beach towns along Scenic Highway 30A, including Seaside, Rosemary Beach and WaterColor. The local economy ties to tourism, real estate and the large Air Force presence in Okaloosa County. Driving to the Emerald Coast from the rest of Florida means a long trip on I-10, and summer traffic on US 98 can crawl; flying privately gets you to the beach sooner and keeps the whole group together, with room for the cooler and the beach chairs.
