Located along Florida’s Emerald Coast, Destin is known for its gorgeous beaches, prime real estate, and fun, family-friendly activities. While the to-do list is seemingly infinite in the summertime, it can be hard for new residents to find things to do around the holidays. Fortunately, the beach town offers many events that will get the whole family in the festive spirit. Here are three ways to celebrate the holidays in Destin, and why you won’t regret relocating to this year-round destination. 

How to Celebrate the Holidays in Destin

1. Hit the Beach

While other people bundle up and head indoors for the cold season, you can enjoy long walks on the beach with your loved ones. To celebrate the holidays, consider taking your holiday greeting card picture while you’re standing in the surf, shopping for beachfront real estate, or sailing in turquoise waters. 

2. Visit the Farmer's Market at Grand Boulevard 

Each Saturday, you can enjoy a fun farmer’s market right on Miramar Beach where you can try new foods, find unique gifts, and enjoy seasonal festivities. In addition to buying fresh produce for your holiday meal and sipping a little hot cocoa, you might also be able to find Florida-specific holiday decor for your family Christmas tree. 

3. Take a Harbor Cruise

Instead of driving through neighborhoods to see the holiday lights, consider taking a harbor cruise. In addition to learning more about the geography of the coast, you can soak in the sights while you enjoy a relaxing voyage with your friends or family members.
