Coming to Florida for my birthday week in mid October. We have narrowed it down to 3 places. Would you pick Destin, Navarre Beach or Fort Walton Beach? Pros, and Cons would be helpful. TIA

Thanks, Squiff, for “broadcasting” a hidden treasure. 😀For a truly one of a kind there is White Oak Conservation (formerly Plantation) on the St. Mary's River in the Yulee area of Nassau County. It has an unbelievable collection of artifacts and historic treasures, a superb ballet facility, an international negotiation center and an assembly of rare endangered animals that will blow your mind, all out in a beautiful wilderness setting. There are cabins but I don't know if it's open to the general public, thought I'd mention it since it is fabulous yet low profile.
Consider it an educational service. Btw it's internationally known and open for tours on a reservation basis.Thanks, Squiff, for “broadcasting” a hidden treasure. 😀
Me, and my wife. Nightlife, and some chill time.I need more info such as is it couples, you and wife, family? What are you looking for? Nightlife? Chill time? outdoors stuff?
We are leaning toward Destin. My wife liked the comment about the shopping. 😂Everything in Mexico Beach is brand new, uncrowded, and quiet.
Destin is busy but I like it. Great beaches, lots of restaurants, and shopping.
I've stayed several times at an older quiet place right on the main drag, recently remodeled. The Inn on the Harbor. I get a room on the back overlooking the harbor with great sunsets, no street noise, lights twinkling at night. My sister also went with me once and we just got some appetizers and a bottle of wine at the Fresh Market and sat out on the balcony enjoying the sunset and watching the boats.
But then I am not one who likes clubs. Live music is fine if it's decent.
October? It's a nice time of year in Florida. Tourist season in Lower Alabama is over.
Lott’s of shopping in Destin, and they have a Bass Pro for you 🤫We are leaning toward Destin. My wife liked the comment about the shopping. 😂
I've stayed at the same place, The Inn on the Harbour. Walk up and down the boardwalk and drink a few bushwhackers with prime jet fuel on top. After a few, the fish get bigger and bigger. I've always loved last minute shopping sprees with my sister, too! Tourist season never stops at the FloraBama... "Doin' It on the Line." Go eat at Captain's Marlin's in Destin; moved east since the days of being taped on Jaws 11. P.F. Chang's in Sand Destin a good spot, too.Everything in Mexico Beach is brand new, uncrowded, and quiet.
