Anglers of all kinds are drawn to Destin for the quality and variety of the fishing opportunities in the local waters. East of Destin are the beaches of southern Walton County, still unspoiled with picturesque cottages nestled among the rolling sand dunes. One of America's finest beaches is to be found here in Grayton Beach State Park. The quaint Victorian village of Seaside is a popular honeymoon destination in the area. Fort Walton Beach, current population of 23 000, is Destin's neighbor and is an established city with a broader based economy less driven by tourism. One of Florida's oldest marine parks, The Gulfarium, is located here. |
