The sand in Destin, FL
One of my friends owns several paintings she purchased at Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas by an artist by the name of Gordie Hinds. She thought he was actually from the Destin/30A area either near Seaside or Grayton Beach, but I haven't been able to locate any of his work. Apparently he is also shown in a couple of galleries in Destin as well and I think that he is primarily a charter fishing guide. Any help would be appreciated as we are coming down next week and I would love to see his paintings....brilliant work.
Thanks ever so much.
I'm sure you're probably back home by now, but did you try an online search for him? I just typed in his name on google and came up with these links about him. I only found fishing charter info, but no paintings. There's the Sharp Gallery off of 30-a and many art galleries in the central area of the shops at SeaSide. Both these places showcase local artists from the area.

Walk along the beach, let the sun warm your skin, with water and sand between your toes, let the sea breeze refresh you. There are great golf courses, gulf aquariums, a zoo, great restaurants, boats and the best fishing. Definitely the ocean waves crashing on the shore, the salt spray and ocean smell.
The Boathouse became famous for its Jimmy Buffet down on the waterfront atmosphere. Though it still holds true to its roots in a tiny little shack on the water with a guy and his guitar, its popularity is having a negative impact. These days it is still fun, but it's always packed making it almost impossible to get a drink day or night. My last visit, I waited for 20 minutes and even stood at the bar for 10 minutes trying to get a drink and failed, so I ended up leaving. They are also famous for oysters on the half shell. This spot is also popular in the early afternoon for alcoholic fishermen to cool their heels between drinking binges.
The restaurant features an array of recipes that include fresh seafood selections from across the states, enticing appetizers, steak, pasta and assorted salads...attention to detail and very customer oriented is a highlight of this facility Any of the following will truly satisfy you: Landry's Famous Seafood Salad (with shrimp, crab fingers and jumbo lump crab meat), Shrimp Fettucine (shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes and green onions tossed in a creamy alfredo) and Pasta Primavera (angel hair pasta and fresh garden vegetables tossed in a light scampi butter).
Destin was named "Number One Beach in the South" and one of the top three "Favorite Family Vacation Destinations" by the readers of Southern Living for 4 consecutive years. You can see why when you look at the sugar white sand and emerald waters.
The Destin Cinema is located off of Hwy 98, near Old Time Pottery. While it is less crowded and less expensive than Rave Motion Pictures, this is due to the fact that it's much older. The theaters are small, without stadium seating and the seats are less comfortable. Overall I only go to the Destin Cinema if their movie times are more convienent for my schedule -- otherwise I ALWAYS go to Rave. If you're on vacation, I would definently recommend going to Rave over the Destin Cinema.
