Growing up in Georgia the closest beach for our family was Destin, Florida by choice. We could have gone to Panama City or even St. Simon on the Georgia coast but my mom and dad took us to Destin first and we went back again and again. Now that I’m older and love to fish I would jump at the chance to get back down to the Gulf and enjoy a fishing vacation.
Destin has a annual fishing rodeo that is held every October and lasts all month and anyone can participate. The Gulf waters off of Destin produce some of the best fishing around. From Marlin and Sailfish to Snapper and Grouper to Hammerhead Shark, the Gulf is alive with sport fish. There are many charter boats that you can find to go fish for the 1/2 day, full day, and even night.
Where there is great fishing there is great eating! They go hand in hand in most cases and Destin sure has it covered. When there is a plethora of seafood to be harvested and eaten you can find great local restaurants that incorporate seafood in just about every thing that you can sink your mouth into. Tuna, crab, calamari, shrimp, oysters, mahi-mahi, grouper and amberjack all can be served to you fresh daily. Fine dining can also be experienced during your stay in Destin. Other restauranteurs have blended other styles like Louisiana Cajun into their seafood delectable dishes.
Destin has definitely grown since the late 70’s and 80’s since I have been there. The lodging options are immense and range all over the board for what you expect for your Desitn vacation. You can choose to rent a luxury vacation home for privacy and space or opt for one of the many hotels that spread up and down the beach. From condos and townhomes to homes you can find a vacation rental on the beach or just steps away.
Vacationing to Florida includes a lot of happening cities and attractions like Miami and Disney World so do not forget about the other side of the panhandle where Destin resides and beautiful beaches and great fishing abound.

I own Destin Fishing Charters Service. I’m intersted in getting some information about possibly getting my business listed on your Destin Fishing info page.
Thank You,
