Springtime on the Emerald Coast

Visiting the Emerald Coast this Spring? Springtime on the Emerald Coast means a cool breeze in the warm sun, perfect for practicing your stand up paddleboarding, taking on one of the many championship golf courses, or a full day fishing on the waters. Here are our favorite activities to discover and make the most of your next spring vacation! 

Paddle Boarding 

Stand-up paddle boarding has become a staple of the Emerald Coast, and paddleboarding in the spring means cooler weather to spend more time on the water. Whether you enjoy a calm spot in Choctawhatchee Bay or exploring the clear waters and marine life of the Gulf, you won't regret giving this a try. Venture to the Baytowne Marina to rent a paddle board and get into your own adventure! 

Hit the Links 

Pack your clubs and make golf a part of your next vacation. In addition to many of the world’s most beautiful beaches, the Florida Panhandle is also a renowned golfer’s paradise as it is home to 12 golf courses; many of them public and a few championship. Plan your spring beach vacation with a round of golf in the morning and an afternoon on the beach. Whatever your skill level, there is a golf course for you! 

Dine Alfresco 

There are so many delicious places to eat on the coast, but nothing beats dining outdoors in the springtime. Dining options are equally plentiful, from casual beachside restaurants to beautiful sunset dinners, Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast has it all. If you prefer gulf views, visit restaurants like, The Whale's Tail Beach Bar & Grill and Pompano Joe's Seafood House, or for upscale patio dining try Mimmo’s. 

Experience World-Class Events & Festivals 

Springtime in the Destin area means it’s the perfect time for festivals and events. The Sandestin Wine Festival, named “Best Annual Event” by Destin Magazine, takes place April 7-10, 2022 throughout The Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin. HarborWalk Village, located in the heart of the Destin Harbor, offers an unending array of great ways to enjoy the area, including Spring Events like themed parties, live music, and more. 

Relax at the Beach 

Relax and unwind this spring on the beach! Want to sit and enjoy expansive views of the Gulf and sugar-white sands and relaxing sounds of the coastline from your patio or balcony? Consider booking one of our Miramar Beach vacation rentals. And when you’re ready to sink your toes into the white sandy beaches, and your new beach book, make the convenient walk down to the beach for an afternoon – or entire day – of reading and relaxing.
