Destiny by the Sea

You have most likely noticed this privileged community located at the only curve on Scenic Highway 98 between Destin and Miramar Beach. The developer of this preplanned residential enclave was able to obtain permission from the highway department to specially create it. The lush palm-lined curve in the road created this walled-in enclave that accommodates the residents and their fortunate guests beside a private beach in this exclusive gated world. Destiny by the Sea has two private beach access points on Conch Cay and Caicos Cay. The neighborhood is centered upon a gorgeous clubhouse that includes restroom facilities, showers, and dressing rooms beside a very lushly landscaped oasis. This marvelous tropical setting boasts a large lagoon-shaped swimming pool that is magically lighted at night and seasonally heated. The pool patio adorned with regal Royal Palm trees includes a bubbling Hot Tub and an outdoor lounge beneath an open arbor with a two-story-tall cathedral ceiling.

This incredible world of its own is surprisingly close to restaurants, beach bars, and shopping adventures. Many popular Gulf-front restaurants are close by, including the Crab Trap, only a short stroll away down the beach. This captivating place resembles a charming seaside pavilion from the early 1900s and serves delicious seafood along with craft cocktails. Grocery stores, wine shops, nationally renowned restaurants, and the trendy retail village of Destin Commons are also minutes away. This idyllic shopping destination has an enchanting ambiance with turret towers, an old-fashioned clock tower, pedestrian-friendly avenues lined with towering palms, a classic fountain, and a kid’s play plaza with alternating mini geysers providing refreshing frolic. It is anchored by a Belk’s Department Store, a Bass Pro Shop, and Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl and Grill. They are interconnected to avenues of fine clothiers, fashion boutiques, specialty stores, shoe shops, and jewelers. A variety of restaurants with casual bars and an AMC multiplex movie theater provide entertainment.

This great locale is also central to all the happenings at HarborWalk Village on Destin’s bustling marina and the enchanting Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin. Each features a wide array of wonderful restaurants, lively bars, specialty shops, fun family amusements, outdoor concerts, fabulous festivals, and exciting holiday firework celebrations throughout the year.
