Eglin's runway is pointed directly at Destin, so technically you're supposed to contact Eglin before departing Destin. There's even a sign at the end of the runway saying to do so but a lot of pilots, believing Destin is an uncontrolled field because it doesn't have a Tower don't do so. You really have to be on your toes there.

ETA: I haven't flown in 4 years so I'm not really up to speed on how it is now.
