Travelling to Florida is usually on most people’s bucket
lists. It's a magnificent place to visit, and there are lots of cities in this
state that tend to fly under the radar. Those of you with a knowledge of
Florida may well have deduced the pun in the title! Yes, if you’re looking for
a weekend getaway that’s destined to please, then Destin is your best bet.
For those that still don’t get the pun, Destin is a city in
Florida that’s become very popular for short breaks away. This is mainly
because it’s a little slice of paradise that offers beautiful beaches, a calm
atmosphere, and relaxing vibes. Speaking of which, here are some things to do
during your weekend getaway in Destin, Florida.
Shop Til You Drop
Destin is a great place to go if you’re interested in a bit
of retail therapy. For me, if I’m going on a long weekend getaway, then I like
to do things to help relieve me of stress and get me feeling nice and happy.
Shopping does just that, and there are a plethora of great retail outlets to
choose from in this Floridian city. Some of the main highlights include Silver Sands Premium Outlets and HarborWalk Village - but there are still loads of
other ones you can check out as well.
Stay Near One Of The Beaches
One of the main reasons to come to Destin for a weekend
getaway is the sheer range of gorgeous beaches. They’re famous for them, and
you need to ensure you find a hotel right next to one. Something like the Courtyard Sandestin at Grand Boulevard will do nicely as it’s near the
sumptuous sandy Miramar Beach. When you stay near the beach, you can wake up in
the morning, look out at the stunning sea view, and then trot down for a spot
of sunbathing - perfection!
Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park
Like I said; a weekend getaway needs to be nice and
relaxing. What better way to relax than taking a trip to the Gulfarium Marine
Adventure Park? It’s a relatively small adventure park that’s full of some
stunning marine life. There are daily dolphin shows, sea lions, and even some
giant turtles. It gives you a chance to see some of the local marine life and
provides a good couple of hours of fun to help you unwind. Speaking of which,
it’s well worth having a look in the ocean whenever you’re down at one of the
many beaches on the coast. Why? Because you may be able to get a glance at some
local dolphins swimming around. It’s a wonderful sight, and yet another way to
enjoy this city.
