Chicago Hotels

The beaches were and still are one of Destin’s main attractions. The sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast region together with the greenish waters are a spectacular site to behold and enjoy. Destin sands are one of the whitest sands all over the world and form a beautiful and somewhat surreal setting.

There are sand dunes to be encountered on some of the beaches which form a very unique place to rest. However, environmental activists encourage the visitors to act carefully with the dunes. Do not walk on them or pick sea oats nearby, because this may lead to the destruction of the dunes, which are an important part of the local ecosystem.

The city of Destin sits on a barrier island, which is surrounded by water from all sides and connected to mainland only by a small strip. Because of the favorable conditions, the waters around Destin are full of wildlife like dolphins, large variety of fish, sand dollars, sharks, sting rays and many more. There are many hotels in Destin that offer a spectacular view on the white beaches and emerald waters, so make sure you have booked the right one!
