Kingfish
to Blue Marlin - Destin, Florida is a Great Little Fishing Town With Beaches
Your Family Will Love by Kirby Collins
A longtime favorite of fishermen,
in fact it started as a humble fishing village and today Destin, Florida
is touted as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" they also claim to
have the largest, best equipped fishing fleet in Florida docked in Destin
Harbor, which is great because we love fresh caught seafood.
Off shore fishing is excellent
with close access to Gulf of Mexico via the 100 Fathom Curve which is closer
to Destin than any other spot in Florida, making it the fastest way to
get to the deeper waters in the Gulf where the best fish are. You can charter
a boat and go after a big Blue Marlin, this is the best place in Florida
to catch them, Dolphin (mahi-mahi), Wahoo and Sailfish are also caught
during late spring and summer.
If you like to fish in shore
you can catch Cobia and Kingfish; bottom fishing is also good, grouper
and snapper are commonly caught. You don't even necessarily need a charter
a big boat to fish in shore or bottom either, fish can be caught from small
boats and even kayaks launched from the beach. Choctawhatchee Bay is another
great place to fish in the area; trout, redfish and black drum are commonly
caught in the Bay. Even if you don't like to fish the bay is beautiful
and a great place to spend the day on the water but be sure to bring your
sunscreen the last thing you'll want to take home is a nasty sunburn.

The East Pass, which is also
called Destin Pass, has the only outlet of Choctawhatchee Bay into the
Gulf of Mexico. The west side of Destin Pass is accessible to the public;
they have a great beach there which is beautiful and remote if you want
to get away from the crowd.
Destin is a popular vacation
spot and a big resort town with beautiful hotels and resorts that the whole
family will enjoy. They have also have places you can rent by the week,
which is what we did, with many places right on the ocean. About 4.5 million
people visit the area every year and we were happy to be two of them. They
have family amusement parks with go-carts, miniature golf, thrill rides,
and even bungee jumping. We also saw at least a dozen well manicured golf
courses and just as many tennis courts.
If you like to shop they
have these great little outdoor malls that are cleverly disguised as quaint
wood framed buildings that hold all the latest designer brands and labels;
it reminded me of being in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
One of the things we liked
best about Destin was the food. The dining in Destin is as diverse as it
is delicious; restaurants here range from jacket and tie fine dining overlooking
the Bay to flip-flops and cut offs oyster bars overlooking the Gulf. Most,
we were delight to find, have live entertainment; everything from classical
pianos playing to local bands to jukeboxes. Seafood is the natural choice,
because it's not uncommon to see restaurant marquees inviting you to come
in and enjoy the fresh catch from the night before, but they have a little
bit of everything including Caribbean style.
So next time you're going
to Panhandle
beaches be sure to get over to Destin, it's a great little seaside
town where you can fish, surf, parasail, golf or shop. You can spend the
day on the beach then spend the night out having some family fun and most
of all enjoy the seafood.
