What Makes Destin so Great?
In order to really appreciate such a charming beach town, we must dig into its deep, rich roots. The history of Destin extends back to when Native Americans first discovered the abundance of seafood that could be gathered from the Gulf and Bay. You can view ancient artifacts from the Native American’s early times at the Destin History and Fishing Museum. In 1845, Captain Leonard Destin, who was a fisherman from New London, Connecticut, first settled Destin, Florida as it is known today. Leonard Destin’s descendants still live and actively fish in the Destin area. Today, Destin is known to be “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” largely due to the fact that the Destin pass allows the quickest access to deep-water fishing in the Gulf.
Destin’s waters aren’t just fish abounding, but near the shore of the beaches, you will find clear emerald water and very fine, soft white sand. Have you ever wondered why Destin has the softest white sand? This is largely due to the fact that sand particles that come from quartz found in the Appalachian Mountains make their way to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Apalachicola River. This creates those perfectly oval grains of sand that squeak under your feet, which is very unique to the Gulf Coast. Over the years, Destin has become a major vacation destination on the Emerald Coast. Many have even decided to make Destin their permanent home. But if you’re looking for a beach getaway, allow us to share the essence of this remarkable beach city at Breakers East Destin condos.
