What is the appeal of going to a beach where you are going to be packed in like sardines and there are fricking traffic jams to go out? I don't get it

Destin isn't that bad except for the holiday weekends and spring break. I could leave my duplex when I was in college and be walking in the door at the condo in under 2 hours. We didn't have Friday classes in the summer and went every Thursday to Sunday for a few summers except the holidays. If you avoid peak time it is fine. Weeks like the first week schools let out, the last week before school starts back, July 4th and Labor Day. Other than that it isn't bad. Of course we left all of our stuff there since we owned it and mom was usually there as well, so we just kept the kids in and cooked most nights. Occasionally we would get her to keep them so we could go out on a date or see a movie if it was raining.
