Within a short period of captivity, they train people
to stand on the edge of the pool and throw fish to them.

Destin has won many awards for its perfect pristine white sand and beautiful clear emerald water and some say, 'It just seems to get better every year'.

Gorgeous white sandy beaches to relax on and beautiful shells for the collector provide two activities on this breathtakingly beautiful beach.

Another big draw here is fishing where the cards are stacked in your favor.

Florida's largest charter boat fleet is here with more than 140 vessels and experienced captains who know where the fish are waiting for your hooks.

Deep sea fishing, rare in most places, is popular at Destin Beach Florida because of rare water depths closer to shore than usual.

So, all of you experienced fishers or wannabes, come on down and catch your share of grouper, pompano, king mackerel and others. Have a restaurant cook them for you or have 'em packed to send home.

Destin Beach Florida and its neighbor to the east, Ft. Walton Beach, are part of the Emerald Coast and boasts 24 miles of beautiful, untouched beach that is protected from development to preserve the natural beach and wildlife communities.

After you enjoy a long walk along Destin's soft sandy beach, make sure you check out as many of the restaurants (this is no place to diet) and other attractions as you can.
