Why the Emerald Coast Has the Best Warm Winter Vacations
While much of the country is covered in snow and frost, the Emerald Coast enjoys comfortable temperatures averaging in the 60s and sometimes even creeping into the 70s. While the rest of the world is freezing cold, you can swap snow for white-sand beaches and gorgeous emerald-green waters that gave this slice of paradise its nickname. It is a little too chilly to swim, but there are plenty of other outdoor activities you can enjoy during warm winter vacations in the Destin area!
Have a Blast With Winter Activities on the Emerald Coast
- Relax on the Beaches: The sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters of the Gulf are stunning even in the winter. During warm winter vacations, consider Norreigo Point Beach Park, Miramar Beach, or Henderson Beach State Park for a peaceful day by the shore. Platinum Vacations of Destin also offers a lovely selection of beachfront vacation rentals in the Sandestin Resort area!
- Fishing Excursions: The “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” (Destin) offers year-round fishing charters for deep-sea or bay fishing. Winter is a great time to catch Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, and Speckle Trout.
- Biking and Hiking: During winter vacations, you can explore Topsail Hill Preserve State Park trails or take a bike ride from Crystal Beach to Miramar Beach on Scenic Highway 98 in pleasantly warm weather.
