Food Scene

We love the food, drinks, and it has a lovely outdoor beach area. Great for a night out or a place to bring the whole family.

Best seafood in the local area. Pricey and expect a wait of 1-2 hours. They don't take reservations but they have a really nice area in the back to wait for a table. Also has a beach area for the kids.

Crab Island is a must for any visitor. We recommend the above company but there are lots of options. We also recommend hiring a boat captain so everyone can enjoy drinking and relaxing (plus crab island gets very crowded and can be difficult to navigate).

Fun little Tiki boats. Can take a tour to crab island, sunset cruise, or harbor cruise. They book by the seat, so a great option if you are alone or as a couple and don't want to rent an entire pontoon boat.

Traffic

If you want to avoid the worst traffic plan to head to the beach early, get there before 10am, and leave before 4pm. Lots of people are heading to the beach around 12pm and will leave around dinner time, so do your best to avoid being on the road at those time.

Rainy Day Fun

We have a pretty unpredictable climate here. Here are some activities to do if the weather is looking grim. Jump Parks - Urban Air in Destin and Surge in Fort Walton Arcades - Wild Willy Adventure Zone on Okaloosa Escape Rooms - Lots of these in the area, our favorite is Escapology in Destin Movie Theaters - Regal and Suds in Fort Walton, AMC in Destin

Water Activities

There is a lot to do out on the water if you have some money to spend and don't get seasick! Fishing Charters - Go fishing! Depending on the season you can catch grouper, red snapper, tuna, or amberjack and take home pounds of delicious seafood. Dolphin/Sunset Cruises - Great time to relax, have some drinks, and enjoy the beautiful view of the Emerald Coast Snorkeling Tours - Go snorkeling and see some wildlife and maybe take home some seashells. Jet Ski Rentals - Go fast! Lots of fun, especially if the water is calm.
