The Florida Panhandle, known as the Emerald Coast, is a must-visit destination. The white sandy beaches, emerald waters and countless quaint beach towns make it a great way to explore some of Florida’s most beautiful locations.
Destin is one of my favorite places in this area. It’s a beach lover’s paradise, with plenty of water sports, fishing and family-friendly activities.
Just a short drive from Destin, 30A features scenic beach towns such as Seaside and Rosemary beachwhere you can enjoy boutique shopping, outdoor concerts and some of the most beautiful views in Florida.
