The Destin Seafood Festival is a yearly event held in Octobor at the Morgan Sports Center. There are 100+ art/craft booths to browse through, giving you the opportunity to support and meet many local artists. And of course there is plenty of good local seafood to eat! Last time I went I had shark on a stick, and it was quite good. They also have a "Taste of Destin" where you can taste samples of menu items from local restaurants. There is also local music and plenty of activities to keep the kids busy. There is face-painting, balloon animals, a NASCAR racetrack, puppet and magic shoes, live animals, etc.
It's a great outing for the whole family. I love going each year!
Parking tip: There are "Park and Ride" shuttles that are very convienent. Parking at the Morgan Sports Center can be a nightmare, so it's easy to park further away and take a complimentary shuttle to the festival. The Park and Ride station is located at the Emerald Coast Centre -- where Beals and Office Max is. Leave a Comment

Ok! Some cultural tips? Let me think...What about... Literature!!! Poem, I saw in the reception of the hotel in Destin.
Destin, My Desteny. There is a place I found called Destin
Oh, such a beautiful sight,
We've heard of golden streets in Heaven,
But will Heaven have beaches of white?
Some day I hope to call this place my home,
Taking part in it's beauty day by day,
As long the Gulf's waters I roam,
watching the children and grown-ups play.
Mornings begin with cold breezes from ocean,
As the world seems to move at a slower pace,
It's sunsets are from an artist with brilliant motion,
And there's no fear of the new day you face.
Yes, if before I return, I'm called away,
To live in a place for eternity,
May it be paradise, I hope and pray,
Like Destin, for that is my desteny. Leave a Comment

The five holes commemorate the five wounds of Christ, while at the center on one side blooms the Easter lily, and at the lily's heart, is the star of Bethlehem.
The Christmas poinsettia is etched on the other side, a reminder of Christ's birth.
According to this legend, if you break the center, five white doves will be released to spread good will and peace. Leave a Comment

Dress down! During the warm season, people dress very casual. But watch out for sunburn. With the sand and water, it does not take long to look like a lobster.

We tend to take things a lot more laid back than most places. You'll soon get used to it. Just relax & enjoy. Leave a Comment
