Things To Do
Crab Island
Crab Island is one of the feature attractions of Destin!! It is a must do experience when you visit the Emerald Coast. We will rent a pontoon boat(s) on Saturday, June 18 and drop anchor at Crab Island for the day. This is a laid back, family friendly atmosphere that all can enjoy. Depending on how many people would like to join, we can get a double decker pontoon boat or rent two boats. The cost would be divided up per person. An RSVP event will be created closer to the date for confirmation.
Gold's Gym - Destin
The place for all of your #getitgetit needs.
McGuire's Irish Pub of Destin
A MUST EAT PLACE WHEN YOU VISIT! You will want to plan accordingly though, it is a popular spot and there can be a lengthy wait. I highly recommend going for lunch or an early dinner. Harborwalk Village is right across the street though so you can stroll through through and check everything out while you wait. The Pub is celebrated for great food, live Irish entertainment and the atmosphere boasting more than One Million signed dollar bills hanging from the ceilings and walls.

A family owned business, located perfectly off of Scenic Highway 98, it's your one stop shop for bike, scooter, kayak and paddle board rentals. We rented paddle boards from Coastal Cruisers this past summer and they were the friendliest, most accommodating individuals. I highly recommend renting from them if you want to bike, scooter, kayak or paddle board along the coast.

This is the company we will rent our pontoon boat from to go to Crab Island. They also provide jetski rentals and dolphin tours.
Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park
Kids tired of the beach?? We have never visited this water park but I hear it is a great time and that through the week the lines are short and crowd is much smaller. We might check this out ourselves this year as our family has become quite the fan of mini golf. Big Kahuna’s is the favorite place for fun in Destin and has something for everyone; From Lazy River to Speed Slides, our attractions are sure to keep the fun going for hours. Challenge yourself on our Honolulu Half Pipe or a round of mini golf for added fun and adventure.
