Destin, FL

Destin is our favorite kind of Gulf Coast town, sugar-white sand, water calm enough for toddlers, and hotels where the pool does the entertaining. Start with the family hotels guide, then add one outing a day from the activities list. Everything below follows the same lazy rule: one thing per day, the pool the rest of the time.
