5 Reasons Why We Love Destin, Florida For Spring Break

Are you seeking a sunny getaway to break the low-season blues? Look no further than Destin, Florida. There is so much to love about the Emerald Coast during spring. Resting along the Gulf of Mexico with sugar-white sand beaches and emerald waters, Destin is a perfect spot to recharge and escape. From beautiful scenery, wine tasting, to outdoor adventures, this city has a plethora of activities to explore. Here are five reasons why you will fall in love with Destin during spring. 

Pleasant Weather: Take advantage of the wonderful temperatures and sunny weather in Destin during spring. Spring temperatures range from the ’60s to ’80s, making it a perfect time for outdoor pursuits like hiking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The water is warming up, too, so it's an ideal time to take a refreshing dip in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Low Crowds: During spring, you'll get the chance to explore Destin's attractions and sights with plenty of personal space. Spring is a bit quieter than summer so finding a spot on the beach or getting a table at your favorite restaurant is much easier this time of year. Strolling around breathtaking venues like Henderson Beach State Park, Destin Harbor Boardwalk, or Crystal Sands Beach will give you the feeling you have a slice of paradise all to yourself. 

Golfing: Destin is home to many exceptional golf courses that you can explore during your trip. Tee off while surrounded by breathtaking gulf views and rolling greens, delivering impressive shots through some of Destin's challenging courses. Some say spring is the best season for golf. If that’s so enjoy soaking up the landscape views that surround you while you take your best shot on one of the area's premiere golf courses. 

Wine Tasting: Wine enthusiasts will find themselves in heaven this time of year with our favorite Wine festivals. UNwineD is a 2-day event with the Grand Tasting on Saturday, April 6th from 1:00-4:00pm at Aaron Bessant Park in Panama City Beach. Just a short drive from your Destin Vacation Rental.

South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival is also a 4-day event with the Grand Tasting on Saturday, April 27th from 3:00-6:00pm at Grand Boulevard. These three festivals are a wine lover’s dream, featuring a plethora of winemakers pouring their favorite varietals and blends 

Foodie Heaven: Destin’s food scene is as good as you’ll find in any city in the U.S. Fresh seafood served in coastal restaurants where the chefs use local ingredients and fuse them with regional and global flavors. You’ve probably heard about the famous Gulf-to-table culinary experience. It’s true, and you can find the freshest seafood from the Gulf of Mexico right in this city.
