It’s always a fun time walking the beach and seeing everything from sea level…

What about getting a bird’s eye glimpse of the most beautiful beaches in the world?

The amazing staff at the Sea Oats Motel is committed to helping make your stay on the Emerald Coast one that your family will never forget. It is with this in mind that we not only seek to provide your family with comfortable, beachfront accommodations with awesome amenities, but we also have thought long and hard to prepare a list of some of our favorite activities to do when staying at our beautiful property in sunny Destin, Florida.

The Sea Oats Motel recommends experiencing the majestic Gulf Coast beauty from the air by booking a helicopter tour while you’re visiting Destin.

The sightseeing helicopters are great for a family tour of the beaches or a romantic sunset ride through the pass. Helicopters are safe and can offer great photo opportunities of popular landmarks such as the East Pass, Harbor, Choctawhatchee Bay and Crab Island. Experienced pilots come from all over to give tourists the flight of their life over the worlds most beautiful beaches.

Most of the flights take place at the local Destin Airport, just a short drive from the Sea Oats Motel on Old Highway 98.  Flights can range from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, and each flight can accommodate about 3-4 individuals depending on the size of the aircraft.

Some of the commons sights you see are dolphins, sharks, fish, and maybe some unique cloud formations. Just recently, a large group of manatees, swimming in a v-shaped formation just down from the Sea Oats, were spotted by a helicopter tour, whose pictures of the moment made the news and social media trending.

It is best to book a helicopter tour well in advance of your arrival to guarantee your time, and the Sea Oats Motel can help refer you to the perfect helicopter tour operators so that you will rave about the experience for years to come.

So this summer, come visit the Emerald Coast and marvel at our spectacular beaches, and coastal landscapes from the private balconies of the Sea Oats Motel. Our list of favorite things will have you and your family tripping the light fantastic all around our seaside oasis!
