Sure, the soft-white sands and emerald-green waters of the Emerald Coast beaches could keep you and your family busy forever, but there are endless possibilities beyond the beach. 

Opportunities abound for fun on the water - rent a canoe or kayak and paddle around the bayou edges of Choctawhatchee Bay or zip around in the Gulf on a Waverunner or explore the flora and fauna from a comfortable glass-bottom boat.

See the Emerald Coast's flippered friends on one of several dolphin cruises from the Destin Harbor.  Or go diving or snorkeling to get up close and personal with the sea life.

Join a party fishing boat and meet people from all over the world in a relaxing and, at the same time exciting, atmosphere  Or try your luck going solo and enjoy fishing along the miles of beautiful shores.

If you really want to get some "air" and add some adventure to your trip, parasailing can give you a bird's-eye view of the beautiful beaches and emerald waters of our coast.

And there's plenty of family fun.  Go to a naval aviation museum, a zoo or a marine park.  Hit the track for a little go-kart racing, or head to greens of challenging mini-golf courses.

And when your day winds down, head to one of the many family-friendly restaurants full of local flair and great food.
