Walk around the area for music, dinner, and shopping. Inside the San Destin Resort, this place has a lot going on in the summer. Bring our beach mat to watch live music on the lawn. Check to see whats going on before going out there.
Grand boulevard is close, movies after a day at the beach, and dinner at Emeril's would be wonderful too!

This place is only open on Saturdays for tours. If you happen to be here, it is worth the visit. You do have to call in advance for the tour. It takes maybe 2 to 4 hours, but it really is a wolf encounter. I have seen similar tours in Washington for $175.00. Give them a call! Not for children under 8, I believe.

You can go tubing down the Springs. 1+ mile walk up w tubes or booties. Nice cool spring water down to the end. Make sure you stay close to get out in time. Nice place to walk, then cool off down the springs.
Or just do the 2 mile walk up and down and watch those floating. The walk is nice, has nice wood deck along the springs. Nice and shady in the morning!!

My favorite "inexpensive things to do!!"
Good affordable fun with or without kids. Not the commercial/ professional but totally, locally owned! It's one of those classic cheesy retro putt-putt places. There's two courses and it's only $3 to play one course. They have all the corny holes, including the one where the ball goes in the frog's mouth, and.... Highly recommended!
But go early morning, or evening, there is no shade!

Beautiful cold water creek that's perfect to jump in or float down on a hot summer day. Free, cool off, and go to Danny's Friend chicken after! Also it's very nice to just walk the scenic one or two mile or so, boardwalk alongside the creek with all kinds of nature to see. Check it out!
