If you live up North, the winter has been LONG. Fortunately, the weather and water are warming in Destin and sunshine is the norm. Spring break, the 2014 edition is well under way. Â Running from March 7 - April 18 this year, spring break in Destin is longer than normal. Â If you haven't made reservations yet, there is still plenty of time.
If you find yourself in Destin, there are many great things to do. My favorite 5 are:
1. Go Snorkeling - Park down on Gulfshore drive across from the entrance to O'steen beach. Â Walk down to the Jetty's and you are at Destin's foremost snorkeling destination. P.S. Don't forget to bring your gear.
2. Rent a Pontoon and spend the day cruising and checking out Destin harborfront condos or hanging out on Crab Island.
3. Go to the Beach -Spring Break Central is found at the Whale's Tail in Walton County. If you want to avoid the crowds, check out Henderson Beach or take a walk along Crystal Beach.
4. Play a round of Golf - We have several championship courses suitable for any skill level.
5. Go Fishing - Destin's World Famous Fishing Fleet is waiting for you to call.
