There are better and less crowded beaches on the Gulf side. Destin is too touristy anymore.

I didn't think it was that touristy at all - Orange Beach is a lot more touristy. The shopping in Destin a very good.

When at The Breakers or Boca Raton Resort and Club I can get a reserved spot on the beach right up front. There is always a waiter willing to bring food or drink to me. Also, I can get to my room by a short walk.

In Destin, I am lucky to get 20 rows from the water. Plus, to get back to the room or condo, I have to take a bus.

To each their own.

If you know when to go and where to stay then you won't find it like this - at all.

I agree with the OP. We have found a spot that suits us perfectly for 4-5 day beach trips. Not being near any high-rises the beach is never crowded. Traffic is never a problem because we prepare and cook our own lavish meals. It has become the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we do a few times a year.
The water is amazingly clean and clear and the beach is clean and the sand is as white as it can be. It can't get any better if you're going to the beach to go to the beach as opposed to going out at night and shopping or water park all day. I go to the beach to spend relaxing time on the beach.
