Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best month to go to Destin, Florida?
April – May is Destin’s shoulder season. Daytime temperatures will be in the mid-70s to low-80s. All restaurants and attractions will have re-opened, and hotel rates and crowd numbers won’t be at their summer peak. April is more crowded than May because of the Spring Break crowds, so you should book your accommodation and guided activities in advance to ensure availability.
June – August is the peak season in Destin. Temperatures are hot in the 90s, and the humidity will make it feel like the 100s. The water will be warm for swimming, but stake out your beach spot early because the beaches will be packed. Hotel prices will be at their highest, so book ahead of time to make sure there’s a room for you. Vacation homes also have peak prices during these months, and most rentals require you to reserve the home for an entire week.
September – November is hit-or-miss with the weather. This is the wet season, so you’ll have rain most days. These months are also hurricane season, so any trip during the Fall will always have a chance of being canceled. Daytime temperatures will be in the 80s and 70s, and nighttime temperatures can get down to the 60s in September and the 40s in November, so bring a layer for walking on the beach at sunset.
December – March is the low season because of the cold water and average temperatures in the low 60s to low 40s. Many tours, attractions, and restaurants close for the low season. But if you’re okay golfing and enjoying the beach in a jacket, then you can score some bargain accommodation deals.
Is Destin, Florida expensive to visit?
In the summer, Destin is a relatively expensive beach destination – usually averaging around $3000 for a couple for a week. But you can save some money by visiting on the weekdays and in the off-seasons, preparing your own meals, and doing free activities.
What is the prettiest beach in Destin, Florida?
The Best Beaches in Destin:
1. Henderson Beach State Park
2. James Lee Beach
3. Crab Island
4. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park
Is Panama City beach or Destin better?
Panama City and Destin are both incredible beach destinations. They’re very similar in prices, beach quality, and activities. So I highly recommend visiting both of these beach towns, just not on the same trip.
Is Destin a party beach?
While alcohol is allowed on the beach (but not in state parks), Destin has strict rules and enforcement procedures to keep people from partying and being loud and disruptive.
Can you swim in Destin right now?
Swimming conditions vary from day to day, and they can change at any given moment. Before you go to the beach, and when you’re at the beach, make sure you’re paying close attention to warning flags, posted signs, and lifeguard instructions.
How much money should I bring on vacation to Florida?
You should plan on spending around $200/day if you’re visiting a Florida beach town in the peak summer months.
What is considered the off season in Destin, FL?
December – March is the off-season because of the cold water and average temperatures in the low 60s to low 40s. Many tours, attractions, and restaurants close for the low season. But if you’re okay golfing and enjoying the beach in a jacket, then you can score some bargain accommodation deals.
