ABOUT DESTIN/MIRAMAR BEACH
Known as the luckiest fishing town in the 1940’s ,the harbor area of Destin has matured into a first class sport paradise, still centered around the magnificent fishing opportunities supported by the finest quartz sand beaches on the planet.
The Emerald coast of approximately 150 miles, attributes its remarkable watercolor to the combination of snow white sand and the crystal clear water of the Gulf of Mexico.
Surrounding Destin is Fort Walton to the west and Panama City just an hour east, with interesting communities in between. While Destin has big city facilities and cultural depth, it has retained a small town atmosphere where ‘casual’ is a way of life. The annual fishing rodeo is a highlight as well as the decorated boat parade at Christmas time.
The panhandle as its affectionately known is close to Pensacola, Mobile and just a few hours away is New Orleans. Destin’s proximity to such attractions to the west as well as interstate highways #65 and #10 make it a perfect DESTINation from neighboring states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia for weekend stays or summer vacations.
Canadians as well as folks from the northeast US have discovered the beauty and value of “Life in Destin” and make up a growing segment of the fascinating residents who call it home.
