4 Fun Things To Do In Destin Florida During Winter

Considering a trip to Destin Florida before the heat arrives? Or perhaps you have a baseball tournament and need some ideas for side excursions. Let's take a look at four fun options!

1) Go fishing--Nothing beats a red snapper trip in mid summer. But what if life brings you to Destin in February? Don't worry the local charter fleet knows how to put you on something that tastes great and puts up a fight. The best part? No summer heat or humidity! 

2) Enjoy a local restaurant (or three)--During the peak season local restaurants can have a substantial wait. Outside of those core months things flow more smoothly. I can't think of an instance in 2025 where we have had more than a five minute, let's get your table ready delay. Even better news on the dining front? Many restaurants will have specials! Pick your favorite 2-3 and follow their Facebook page. 

3) Golf-- As you can expect, Destin Florida golf courses do brisk business during peak season. On the way to a showing, I passed one of the courses at Sandestin Resorts. The course looked amazing and those playing  relaxed! 

4) Explore The Area-- Cruising highway 98 in Mid July is not recommended. Yes, the person in front of you is trying to cross three lanes of traffic without a light. Bring a good book and some calm music. This time a year drive around and get lost! Try that restaurant just off the beaten path.

Hi Doug... I don't fish or go on water in boats. I also don't golf. But I would enjoy checking out all the restaurants.

Doug Rogers These are fantastic suggestions, Doug! Destin in the winter sounds like an absolute hidden gem. I especially love the idea of going fishing—catching something like red snapper without the summer heat or humidity sounds like a win! The local restaurants are another great point; it's always nice to enjoy a leisurely meal without the long waits. And golf at Sandestin Resorts in the off-season? That sounds so relaxing! Finally, exploring the area and discovering those off-the-beaten-path spots is such a great way to enjoy the quieter side of Destin. Thanks for the tips!

I love the fishing.  Have been in the summer and in October.  Hard for us to get away this time of year.

So many fun things to do outside when the weather is nice!  I love that the weather in my area is in the 80's right now!
