Fall along the Emerald Coast is a beautiful, magical time of year to visit the breathtaking white sand beaches of Destin, Florida and the surrounding areas.

With day after day of gorgeous blue skies, lovely, cool temperatures and low humidity, not to mention the fact that the off season means endless stretches of uncrowded, pristine coastline for your family to enjoy practically all to yourselves and discounted rates, autumn on the pristine northern gulf coast is the best kind of treat, without the trick.

Even though our water temperatures stay fairly warm for quite some time, should you visit and decide that swimming is not for you, rest assured, there are a ton of fun activities the whole family will enjoy still left to do!

Visiting families during the month of October will be pleased to be able to enjoy the 2014 Panama City Beach Seafood & Music Festival. Celebrating our incredibly fresh, locally caught seafood, the Festival will feature a fishing tournament and include the latest n’ greatest in tack, gear, techniques and instruction from some of the top professionals in the sport.

Guests will also be treated to a wide array of culinary arts from local gourmet eateries, lots of live music, entertainment for the whole family including demonstrations, concerts, shows and fireworks, arts and culture from around the Emerald Coast, handmade crafts to purchase and so much more.
