Looking for ways to make the most from your visit to Destin? The staff at the Vein Center of Florida & South Baldwin has plenty of suggestions to keep you busy. Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, check out these ideas for spending a day on the Emerald Coast.
Hit the Beach
While visitors typically head to the southern end of Florida for their beach time, the Emerald Coast offers a somewhat quieter coastline lined with pristine sand and calmer waters from the Gulf. While the white sands of Henderson Beach State Park make it a good draw, John Beasley Beach Park allows for snorkeling and even a little surfing for the adventure-minded.
Get Up Close with Marine Life
If you prefer to enjoy marine life from the confines of dry land, the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park is the place to go. This attraction has been educating and entertaining guests since 1955. If gardens and land animals are more your cup of tea, the Gulf Breeze Zoo and Botanical Gardens is another good option for spending the day enjoying the sights and sounds of the South.
Visit the Wharf
Get your Cajun on with a trip to the Village of Baytowne Wharf. The New Orleans flavor cannot be missed in this quaint fishing village with a variety of dining and shopping experiences to choose from. The wharf also features a vast array of outdoor festivals and special events throughout the year. The outdoor stage features plenty of live entertainment, while the Baytowne Adventure Zone offers adrenaline rushes for all ages.
Play Some Golf
Destin is also a prime spot to play a few holes in the natural beauty of the Emerald Coast. Destin features four championship golf courses, with more outside the city and along the coastline. The Kelly Plantation Golf Club is a particular favorite for residents and visitors alike, with breathtaking coastal views dotted with palmetto and magnolia trees. Regatta Bay and Sandestin are two more courses that have received positive reviews from visitors to the area.
Take an Excursion
Get out on the water to see the Emerald Coast from a whole new perspective. Whether you choose to charter your own sailboat or hop onboard one of the many guided tours in the area, Destin is the perfect location for a boat ride. Some charters give you the chance to search for marine life in its natural habitat, while others offer a unique view of a Florida sunset on the water.
Play, Play, Play!
Water sports are a favorite pastime throughout Florida, including the Emerald Coast. With spots to try your hand at diving, surfing or paddle-boarding, there are plenty of ways to get active in the area. Schedule your day of jet skiing or water skiing or kick back with some deep sea fishing. If you prefer, kick it up a notch with parasailing or tubing or get out of the water and enjoy some of the best zip lining in the state.
