Miramar Beach

HarborWalk Marina
If you're passing through Destin, you must visit the Destin Harbor at the entrance into town. This is THE spot where all the fishing boats display their catch for everyone on the dock. There's an annual fishing derby in October where anyone can place bets on which boat will bring in the biggest fish using the massive derby bracket. Make sure to check out AJ's and head up to the top level for the best view of the harbor docks. They have great sushi with freshly caught fish. The harbor dock is filled with activities, like ziplines and family-friendly attractions, plus plenty of shops. This is also the place to go if you want to rent jet skis or buy tickets for a sunset cruise.
