Attractions & Activities

The abundance of activities in Destin gives new meaning to the phrase “so much to do with so little time!” Hopefully you have plenty, but if not, prioritize and remember there's always more time on your next vacation to Destin. Start by selecting either an outdoor or indoor activity, depending upon the weather and your mood.

Outdoors, the sky's the limit! There's always fishing and the beach as well as para-sailing, kayaking, and riding a wave runner. You may party over to Crab Island on a pontoon boat or go on a Dolphin Cruise.  Learn to surf, snorkel or scuba dive.  Rent a bike or race a go kart. Swim in a spectacular water park or go bungee jumping. Miniature golf is always available as is a large selection of Golf on noted signature courses such as Kelly and Regatta Bay.

Indoors there is bowling at Hurricane Lanes or catching the latest movie at the Rave Theater in Destin Commons. Learn a lot about the area at the Destin Fishing Museum or work out your body at a local spa health club. Certainly, there is always shopping till you drop along with plenty of great food and drink at our many local Destin restaurants!

Enjoy these great Destin activities and consider booking your next Destin Vacation with Ocean Reef Resorts.
