118. Summer Road Trip Mini: Family Fun on Florida’s Emerald Coast- From Destin to Panama City Beach
In this Midweek Mini, we’re heading to the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of Destin, Florida thanks to our listener Katie—but it just so happens, this is one of our favorite beach destinations for our families as well. We share our own experiences exploring this stretch of the Emerald Coast and offer tips for making the most of your trip, from the best times to visit to our favorite spots for outdoor adventures.
We talk about quieter, family-friendly beach options like Henderson Beach State Park, fun outings to Crab Island, and activities like parasailing and snorkeling that add a little thrill to your beach days. And of course, we couldn’t leave out the food—whether it’s kid-friendly spots like Fudd Pucker’s or the food trucks in Seaside, Destin is full of delicious finds.
If you’re dreaming of a beach trip that’s easy, fun, and packed with things to do, this episode will help you plan your perfect getaway to Florida’s Emerald Coast.
