Fishing
Destin is touted as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village." An offshore shelf dips straight from Destin's East Pass near us to 100-foot depths, making it internationally recognized as the quickest deep-water access on the Gulf. Over 20 species of edible game fish are always in seasonal runs - one being the famous billfish. And - this gets even better - many local restaurants offer 'hook and cook'. You fish, bring them your catch, and they cook it to order for you. You can't get much fresher unless you cook it onboard the boat.
If you don't like deep sea fishing, you can fish from shore. The Okaloosa Island Pier is known for catches of cobia, mackerel, and bonito that rival the deep sea catches. Book
your next fishing trip aboard the Anastasia
Charter Boat or Stress
Relief II.
Scuba Diving
The Emerald Coast's nickname is the "Caribbean of the north" for our warm waters and incredible fish population. Boat tours from local dive shops, many PADI certified, are very popular. If you are a novice, short-course training for basic certification is possible, so you can be diving during your vacation. Rent equipment or bring your own.
Snorkeling
Just because you don't scuba dive doesn't mean you have to miss out on our underwater playground. Snorkeling will let you experience the incredible variety of
sea life in shallower water. Almost all of the scuba shops have snorkeling boat trips - or start from shore. The
jetties that are located nearby Jetty East are known to
have a wide variety of sea life for your viewing
pleasure.
