There are very few budget-friendly places to travel to that boast
world-class fishing, award-winning golf courses, premium shopping and
jaw-dropping beaches. Nestled amongst the Gulf of Mexico and the Choctawhatchee
Bay in Northwest Florida, Destin sits in the heart of the action during peak
and shoulder season. And it’s because of this that we’ve seen a steady increase
in traffic in the months usually reserved for the locals.
With offices located across the Panhandle, Century 21 Blue
Marlin Pelican has certainly seen the increase in our area’s popularity.
Through marketing and community outreach maintained in our area
during “shoulder season” (October through May), Destin has quickly become much
more than a Spring Break destination. Thanks to the seasonal events such as the
Destin Fishing Rodeo and numerous reoccurring wine festivals, there’s something
for the entire family to enjoy during their fall break.
Outside of the events, the natural entertainment can’t be beat. Affectionately
known as the "world’s luckiest fishing village," Destin harbor’s deep-sea
fishing, jet skis, snorkeling and dolphin tours are all accessible by one dock!
In response to the traffic seen in these fall months many nearby
airports have picked up direct flights to large feeder markets such as Orlando,
Tampa, Dallas and Houston. Before these flights many visitors drove major
corridors such as I-65, I-55, I-10, and US Hwy 331 from cities such as
Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orleans.
Getting to Destin is easy, it’s having to leave this beautiful
city that’s the hard part.
