My Absolute Favorite
by Aliseeya about Louisiana Lagniappe
This is my hands-down FAVORITE restaurant in Destin, for so many reasons. First, the food is incredible. The menu features many cajiun and seafood dishes, all of them scrumptious. All entrees come with a house salad (which is divine!), hush puppies (usually I don't even like hush puppies -- but I LOVE theirs!), and a cajiun potato.
The atmosphere is very lively, yet elegant at the same time. And you can't beat the service. All of their servers have extensive experience in the restaurant business, which is evident by their attention to detail. It has an outdoor deck on the water, although I always eat inside. Everything is great, but my favorite is the crab cakes. I also love their tuna steak wrapped in bacon. My husband's favorite dish is blackened grouper, topped with maine lobster.

Just easy !
Rent a boat/waverunner and you will be free to go!
Also enjoy parasailing!!
Parasailing will bring you up above the water for a birds-eye view of the island.

INTRODUCING... TOWN PARADISE : DESTIN, FL
by lorigirl
Destin is a place, where the sand escaped the confines of the hour glass, where time is measured in the passing of waves over toes, where color is reinvented in every sunset, and where the wind is reborn with every breath of a new day. Would you ask for more?
Sounds nice, then let's take a closer look, follow me...
