Destin Plays Host to Sizzlin' Summer Events

Destin and the Beaches of South Walton have planned the best summer yet! Many new venues and talents grace our events calendar this season.

Experience why Southern Living readers voted Destin favorite family vacation destination and of course... best beaches in the South .

The extremely popular cobia tournaments begin in April. At least 15,000 cobia fanatics hit Destin’s fair waters searching for that ‘monster’ fish. Marlin and tuna trips are also a summer favorite. Destin’s world famous and unprecedented charter boat fleet heads 150 miles offshore. This is definitely not for the squeamish or weak of heart!

ArtsQuest kicks off May 4-11 for a weeklong extravaganza of art, fashion, and beach culture. Sunset celebrations on Grayton Beach, champagne shopping tours along beautiful 30-A and South Walton County, private-preview galas at Baytowne Wharf and a couture fashion show at Santa Rosa Beach Club are amongst the highlights.

Relative newcomer to the area -- Sinfonia enhances our region’s cultural vitality. Enriching and expanding the traditional orchestra experience through unique artistic disciplines and collaborations, Sinfonia offers an array of talent. Classical masters and creative geniuses will harmonize for a sophisticated yet modern summer calendar.

Destin and the Beaches of South Walton are also home to some of the most beautiful Golf courses you’ll find. Winding through sand dunes and palm trees, and enjoying 343 sunny days a year, each season gets better and better. Tournaments for all ages and handicaps are scheduled for the summer season. Check out the Destin Chamber of Commerce Annual Golf Tournament on April 23 at Indian Bayou Golf Club or the Harbor Docks caddy shack classic in August.

Come home to Destin this summer season and experience more than just the world’s most beautiful beaches.
