About Destin
Destin is a Florida Panhandle resort town on the Emerald Coast, known for white sand, green Gulf water, a fishing fleet and a sandbar called Crab Island.
Destin lies on a narrow neck of land between the Gulf and Choctawhatchee Bay on the Florida Panhandle, in an area called the Emerald Coast for its green water. The beaches are made of fine white quartz sand that squeaks underfoot, and low dunes are covered in sea oats. The town was founded by Leonard Destin, a fisherman who settled here in the 1840s, and it still calls itself the world's luckiest fishing village.
