Destin is a very nice, quiet town a little bit East of Pensacola. They have perhaps one of the top 2 or 3 beaches in the entire state. You probably have never walked on sand as clean and pure as that on Destin’s unspoiled Gulf beach. There are plenty of hotels and motels along the several mile stretch as well as a big outlet mall where you can find such retailers like Nike and Tommy Hilfiger among others.
