You can rent equipment from numerous vendors around Destin Harbour or along Okaloosa Island and paddle out to join the fun. It's a unique way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Of course, no trip to Destin is complete without spending time on its famous white sand beaches. The public beaches, such as Henderson Beach State Park or Beasley Park, offer plenty of space to relax, build sandcastles, or simply enjoy the Gulf waters.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
