 With
its brilliant white quartz sand and warm gulf waves, Destin
lures visitors with plenty of recreational opportunities, fresh seafood
dining, and reasonably priced lodging. Part of northwest Florida's
less crowded Emerald Coast, it is conveniently located between Pensacola
and Panama City.
The beaches here are considered one of the world's top five shelling
destinations. Numerous bayous, lakes, sandbars, reefs, and dunes add
to the natural beauty. Okaloosa Island, the main beach strip of Fort
Walton Beach, is a barrier island which protects the coastline from
the Gulf of Mexico. The popular 1,200-foot Okaloosa Pier is lighted
for night fishing. Choctawatchee Bay, one of the largest inland bays
in the nation, extends 30 miles. This back-to-nature ambiance is the
perfect antidote for families and lovebirds looking for an escape
from the hectic every-day world.
