 |
| Destin is historically known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" and it has been bringing fisherman here for over a century. |
 |
| It is truly a fisherman's dream with the abundance of grouper, tuna, snapper and many other fish just off the shores of Destin. |
 |
| In case you are not a fan of fishing, you can purchase fresh seafood as well as a great assortment of ready-to-eat meals, deli items, wine, spices, appetizers, desserts, seasonings, sauces and mixes. |
 |
| Located in the heart of Destin, it's always my first stop. |
 |
| And, they will pack your fish for travel or ship the fish overnight so that you can bring it home! |
 |
| You haven't really had key lime pie until you've had key lime pie from Donut Hole. Donut Hole is open 24/7 just in case you get a hankering for some good food in the middle of the night. Expect a crowd because it really is an institution in Destin! |
 |
| And, of course, they have the best donuts around. I dream about their key lime-filled donuts, red velvet donuts and devil's food cake donuts. |
 |
| For an elegant dinner along the harbor, head strait to Marina Cafe. |
 |
| A beautiful bar greets you at the entrance. |
 |
| And a gorgeous view awaits you at your table. |
 |
 |
| Beautiful ambience in the interior. |
 |
| And exceptional food makes for a great evening. |
 |
| For Northern Italian Cuisine, head over to Guglielmo's. Hands down the best Italian food in Destin! |
 |
| For casual dining on the harbor, head over to Harbor Docks. |
 |
| Indoor/outdoor dining.... |
 |
| and fresh seafood and vegetables makes it one of my favorites. |
 |
| Of course, these restaurants must be really good because they take me away ever so briefly from this gorgeous view! |
 |
| There are souvenir shops practically on every corner in Destin, but none even come close to Banana Bart's. |
 |
| It is my go-to place for Destin souvenirs... |
 |
| ...and other cool, unique gifts that, yes, I do have to have! |
 |
| For great antiques and gifts, I never go to Destin without stopping at Smith's Antiques Mall. |
 |
| Voted time and time again as the best antique market in Northwestern Florida. |
 |
| Their 25,000 square foot showroom has an incredible selection of high-quality antiques and collectibles. |
 |
| I never go home empty-handed from Smith's. |
 |
| I cannot remember a time when I didn't go to the Back Porch for fun dining on the beach. |
 |
| You can wander off the beach in your bathing suit to this institution in Destin. |
 |
| Casual setting and great burgers, chicken, fish, salads and fun drinks. |
 |
| And the view from Back Porch isn't so bad either! |
 |
| Another go-to place for on-the-beach dining is the Crab Trap. |
 |
| You never mind the long line to get in because you get to sit at the bar and enjoy that great view and gulf breeze! |
 |
| Indoor as well as this great outdoor dining is available. |
 |
| A stroll home along the beach is in order after consuming one of their great seafood meals. |
 |
| Even thunderstorms are beautiful in Destin. |
 |
| No trip is complete without a meal at Louisiana Lagniappe. |
 |
| It is a little off the beaten path by road, but sits proudly on the Destin Harbor. |
 |
| Plan to go home with a smile on your face and a very full belly when visiting Lagniappe. Maine Lobster and Shrimp Etoufee is oh-so good! |
 |
| And their grouper cannot be beat! |
 |
| Even with all of this good food and shopping, my very favorite spot is right under that umbrella just soaking in that beautiful view! DESTIN IS MY DESTINATION OF CHOICE INDEED! TRAVEL M GIRL |
