Destin, Florida Real Estate

Some of the whitest sand in the world can be found in Destin, FL. The sand is actually finely ground quartz crystal resembling the appearance of sugar; it comes from the Appalachian Mountains and flows down the Apalachicola River depositing itself into the Gulf of Mexico.

Destin sits along the coast in the Florida Panhandle and is commonly known as "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village." Destin has grown from a historic fishing village to a premier action resort destination that attracts over six million tourists annually and is ranked in the top ten vacation rental destinations in the country. Although Memorial Day through Labor Day is considered the most popular season for beach-goers, savvy vacationers have come to enjoy the area in the spring and fall, when the weather is more temperate and rates are low. The locals, golfers, shoppers and fisherman find these seasons a great time to be at the beach. Or maybe you’d prefer one of these places of interest:
