The crowd at Destin has definitely changed. Resembles Gatlinburg.

We used to love Harbor Docks sushi. Went last spring and it was meh. The building was in terrible condition as well.

There was a little resurgence around 2007 or so right after emerald grand opened. I remember commanders palace, Pat O’Briens and Camellia Grill were all there at one point but they’ve been long gone for years now.

That’s my point.. all the buildings are in bad shape like harbor docks.

They usually paint to freshen up during the off-season each year and you can clearly see that has not happened.

Yup.. I’m a shitty poster for stating the fact that destin is going downhill. Especially coming from people who have visited once or twice / year. The people with the real insights about the place.

And October is usually a wonderful time in destin because the crowds do thin out but I don’t ever remember seeing a lot of stores close at 6:00 and 7:00 on a Thursday evening. That’s insane to me.

Even the track looked trashy and they are usually good about freshing the place up every year.

How the hell does a little Caesar and Waffle House close? I counted 8 restaurants shut down lol

The place is struggling if you ask me and this was the worst year ever for charter boats and pontoon rentals. I do know a few boat captains and business owners and they have all told me that this year has been the worst since the oil spill
