Henderson Beach State Park
Make sure to stop by Henderson Beach State Park, where the Gulf Coast waters meet 30-foot sand dunes. The beautiful beach park is home to tons of recreational activities. Take the kids for a hike or a bike ride. Then, fill your day with fishing and basking in the sun. The park also offers fun events like stargazing and butterfly tagging.
Big Kahuna Water and Adventure Park
Bring the kids to Big Kahuna Water and Adventure Park for a great time. Your children can enjoy the wave pool while you float away in the lazy river. You won’t have a single worry on your mind because your passes to the water park are free when you stay with Venture Found Vacation Rentals.
Buccaneer Pirate Cruise
Calling all pirates! Your family can go on a daring journey along the Emerald Coast on a pirate ship. The Buccaneer Pirate Cruise is a two-hour boat tour that embarks in HarborWalk Village. Hunt for hidden treasure as you dance, sing, and play games. Although young pirates are on the search for riches and gold, it’s very likely you’ll find Atlantic Coastal bottlenose dolphins and other marine animals as well!
Parasailing in Destin
If parasailing is something that interests you, do it! It’s not every day you can fly through the sky over the sparkling green waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the Destin Harbor. Miramar Beach Sailing near Pampano Joe’s offers fantastic sailing opportunities, including sunset parasailing! One of the best ways to view Destin is from up in the air.
