Destin Area Shopping
For those who think retail therapy is the best form of relaxation, Destin is a dream getaway. Home to one giant open-air outlet shopping mall, an open-air shopping lifestyle center, and several charming shopping villages, it boasts boutiques and specialty stores of every kind. Nearby Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola and Panama City offer traditional mega-mall shopping, but if you want to work on your tan while you search for new frocks, Destin is the place to be.
