Destin is an idyllic beach community. Located half-way between Panama City and Pensecola, it is known as the 'world's luckiest fishing village.' Destin has large snowbird clubs with some 2,000 members every winter. There are wonderful shopping areas, including large outlet malls, and plentiful affordable restaurants with early bird specials and fresh catches of the day. While Destin is a crowded tourist area in the summer, the pace slows in the winter and the town caters to its winter visitors from the North. Canadians are welcome and will enjoy this beautiful town with its sugar sand beaches and storybook harbor. If you visit once, you'll be one of the many who say Destin is Florida's most beautiful beach.
