What a wonderful place. We visited Destin a few weeks ago and the fishing was absolutely incredible for this time of the year. We only had to go out a few miles to land into the deep water

I never knew how incredible Destin's sand is. It was like I was walking on White Sugar.

We found several restaurants that were amazing. I am now going to consider Destin as my Holiday place.

I've outgrown the drinking and getting fricked up all night scene so I really have no clue how Destin's bar/club scene is - nor do I care.

Overall, it was a great time to relax, have a couple of drinks and eat magnificent food. I had no idea that Destin was like this. Awesome little place on the Gulf Coast

Too crowded now in the summer. I prefer The Portofino in Pensacola.

Ever been to Boca, Palm Beach, Miami? Key Largo, or even Jupiter Island?

I am not sure why they even allow Destin to still be part of Florida.

Yes, in fact I have

I lived in Miami for many years and it is a total shite hole

Palm Beach is a bunch of snotty rich people and the fishing fricking sucks.

I have been to every single one of the place you mentioned and Destin is bar none the best fishing experience I have ever had (with the exception of Florida Keys.

Destin is a great place if you have family and kids.

Probably not a very good place if you are single and drink beer all day and do drugs all night... but the kids absolutely love the place.

Damnit, I thought this was covered in a thread last week.
Portofino is not, I say again, not in Pensacola.
It is on Pensacola Beach.

I personally found Pensacola a very depressed town. Everything is boarded up and old looking

If you want a good time, get a room at the Hilton in Sandestin. The hotel and everything that comes with it is top notch.

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.
