Things to do in Destin Before 2020
Somehow the year is quickly coming to an end. Instead of getting everything together when the year starts, we like to wrap up the year on a great note. Need some suggestions? Here are 5 things we recommend doing before 2020.
Whether you live on the beach or not, most of us have had some ups and downs this year. Take the last few weeks of the decade to treat yourself. We can get preoccupied with work, taking care of everyone else, and our daily routines that we forget to do something for ourselves. The Destin, Florida area has a wide selection of award-winning restaurants to choose from. Treat yourself to an amazing dinner at Tommy Bahama’s or Emeril’s. Or enjoy rooftop dining at Shunk Gulley. Have the bourbon brownie at Cantina Laredo’s or fresh margaritas.
Rent a beach house and relax for a few days to get your mind off the daily grind. Take a week or weekend off to just enjoy the coast and reset. When you have a break, you’re able to be energized and start over with a clean slate. Stay in a condo with great amenities or a 30A vacation rental with beach access.
No time for a week off? Leave your schedule open and just enjoy a day at the beach. Pack a lunch and soak up the sun. Bring a beach game to play with friends or family. Get a good book you’ve been eager to read. Enjoy some time to unplug and live in the moment. Forget about responsibilities for the day and just wing it.
Go exploring. Even for people that live here on the coast, we rarely think to go exploring. You get in a routine of going to the same places and forget there’s so much more to check out. Seaside is a great place to get out and walk around. They have farmers markets, bookstores, boutiques, and art galleries. They also have Airstream Row to get great local food and treats. Rent some bikes and look around. Alys Beach is also a beautiful area to bike through with stunning scenery and architecture. Grayton Beach State Park is nice for a hike or bike ride on the trails.
Make a vision board for 2020. Sound a little crazy? Vision boards have proven to actually work. When you create a space that displays what you want, that visualization motivates you to achieve it. You don’t have to just put things you want to have, but also how you want to feel. Think about where you want to be next year, mentally and physically. Any goals you want to work towards, places you want to travel to, whatever inspires you – add something to your board that can help you focus on those.
Every year, we say we want to have a good start. Make your plans now and get ahead. 2020 can be your best year yet!
