This is a local favorite with tons of great food options, including the best steak on the Emerald Coast! They don’t take reservations and the wait on the weekends is usually kind of lengthy, but it’s worth it. Grab an Irish Wake while you wait to be seated!

Amacebiso ngesixeko

Ungaphoswa

The Sunday Thai farmer’s market is a must!

Located at the Wat Mongkolratanaram Buddhist Temple in FWB. Open from 10am-1pm. Be sure to bring cash where it will be converted to tokens- you’ll be able to return the tokens if you don’t spend them all.
Ungaphoswa

Thursday night fireworks!

Every Thursday (in the summer months) the Harborwalk in Destin has a firework show starting around 8:30. There are lots of other attractions and eateries on the harborwalk, including a real pirate ship that you can take a short cruise on!
Ungaphoswa

Dolphin Cruise!

There’s tons to choose from, but if you love seeing marine life in the WILD, make sure to book your spot on a dolphin cruise!
Ukuhamba-hamba

Ubers and Lyfts are the best way to get around

Be mindful of the price surges at night, otherwise ride-shares are the best way to get around if you don't have a car.
