July 19, 2021 Alice Mieles

Destin is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which gets its name from its beautiful, clear green water. Beaches here have extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles, this could be a great destination for you.

Henderson Beach State Park

Reviewed By nylady21 - Philadelphia, United States

The soft sands are gorgeous and a beach walk is always good for my soul. Beautiful nature trail loop with informative placards and a nice playground too make this a wonderful park. You can get online tickets for Florida State Parks which makes admission easier.

Crystal clear turquoise water and white sand beaches. Need I say more? The atmosphere at the beach is family friendly, and there are lifeguards in the summer.

Perfect beach and luckily the waters were calm. You can go pretty far out where the water is cooler and still stand.

Margaritaville and a Crab House on both ends of the Harborwalk with loads of shops in between. Climbing wall kept us entertained, but the zip line wasn't much. We did the Escape Room. It was challanging and fun.

Reviewed By A4296WZbarbaras

We were traveling with our dog and looked for a dog park where we were staying. This park is large, separated into small and large dog areas. It was filled with people and dogs but there was lots of room for everyone. Bags and water are provided . All dog owners were attentive and friendly.
