Once your belly is full there are many great things to do in Destin. They don’t call it the world’s luckiest fishing village for nothing. Destin has the closest deep water access in the Northern Gulf and no shortage of services that will float you out to the deep blue sea to test your luck.
Visitors can also enjoy the clear waters from some more original vantage points. Helicopter tours are available for visitors to get a bird’s eye view of the lucky city named one of the 10 Most Beautiful Places in America by Good Morning America. Adventurers can also view the sea from below the water line on a mission to find flipper and other marine life. Visitors board a glass-bottom boat and sail out to enjoy the marine life in their natural habitats and maybe even spot a pod of dolphins. You can also visit the marine life of the gulf at the Mid-Bay Marina; however you won’t be looking for them in the water. Destin is home to famous marine life artist Wyland’s Whaling Wall #88. The massive mural stands 60 feet high and 1,480 feet long and is meant to raise awareness for the marine life of the Gulf.
These are just a few awesome adventures, but there are a lot more great things to see and do in Destin. For more information or to plan your trip please visit http://www.emeraldcoastfl.com/.
