destin florida vacation

I lived on the east coast of Florida for many years but it was not until recently that I spent some days in the Panhandle. I was so surprised by how different was all the other places he had been in Florida, and I've been all over Florida. On the one hand, water is a beautiful emerald green and white sandy beaches, where water along the east coast are a beautiful clear blue and the beaches are a beautiful color of oatmeal, a good contrast. One thing I noticed was how in the area, especially around Destin, was so beautiful and peaceful. There were tree-lined streets, small houses painted in pastel colors, the outdoor shopping centers that were skillfully disguised as quaint wood framed buildings which held all the designer brands and labels and at least a dozen well manicured golf courses. I'm sure all of you have heard of the Florida Panhandle beaches like Pensacola and Panama City Beach, but let me tell you about these great places in between.

Of points along the road between Destin and Panama City Beach are the picturesque beachfront towns of Seaside, Watercolor, Sandestin and Miramar.

Eastern Passage, which is also called Destin Pass, is at the western tip of the peninsula and is the only way out of the Choctawhatchee Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The claim was made that this step was excavated by hand, but it seems that in the early surveyors maps French, Spanish and English, so this is not likely true. Eastern Passage must be dredged periodically so that it remains navigable, the first known map of East passage was drawn by Don Francisco Tapia, who was commissioned to survey the Florida coast and draw the map.

The community of Destin has existed by more than a hundred years and started as a humble fishing village.
