We had some guest come in town this week and they really wanted to see the Destin Nightlife. We started the night with a few drinks and appetizers from Bone Fish. Bone Fish offers a chance for a mature sophisticated crowd to get out and have a good time. After a few hours of drinking and some great food we decide to give Club Overboard a chance in Downtown Destin. If you are looking for cheap drinks and a chance to dance this may be the place for you. The average age group in this bar seemed to be 18-30. They have 3 separate rooms with a DJ in 2 of them and a live band playing rock music outside. Club Overboard also offers a "Power Hour". Between 11:30-12:30 all well drinks and draft beers are only $1. Both places we went to were a very different crowd but we felt welcome at both.

Sometimes it happens. It does rain down in Destin. Today was one of the few wet days. When you plan a trip to the beach bad weather is not something you want to deal with. When we get stuck with a rainy day we try and come up with activities that will help us make the most of it. Today we took a trip to the Air Force Armament Museum on Eglin AFB. This museum is just a quick 25 minute car ride from Destin. You do not have to be military to visit the museum. The admission is based solely of donations. The museum features tons of planes on the exterior as well as few inside. There is also a large collection of weapons, bombs, and other interesting items. We head to the Armament Museum at least once a year. It is informative for adults and a lot of fun for children. Be sure to try the astronaut ice cream in the gift shop. For more information on this museum or other Destin Attractions visit our site at http://www.doitindestin.com/.
Cheap Destin Hotels is proud to announce the addition of Destin Hotel Reviews. When selecting a hotel, reviews play a critical role. Since the review section is fairly new we only have a few reviews to share at the moment. If you booked with Cheap Destin Hotels or if you have some information you wish to share about a recent hotel booking please visit Destin Reviews and share your experience. We are constantly working to improve the site so keep checking back for new features.
Today was a great day in Destin. The temperature was just shy above 80 degrees and there was not one cloud in the sky. The water was cold but refreshing and the sand was smooth and offered a great place to lay back and relax. If you are not in Destin at the moment now is the time to start planning your next vacation. On our Cheap Destin Hotels site we have just added Destin Weather. We offer a real time forecast as well average temperatures year round. Even if you are not planning on coming down in the next few days this tool should be useful. We have also updated the main photo on our site and added the sounds of the beach. Hopefully everyone will enjoy the new additions to our site.
It is that time of year again! Custom cars from around the country flock to Panama City Beach for the annual Spring Fling Car and Truck show. We plan to attend and enter our vehicle as always. The show is geared towards a younger crowd but is always fun for car enthusiasts of all ages. If you are down in Destin this is an event you may want to check out. Last year there was a large turn out and even though a few of us had a little too much sun, it was well worth the 30 minute drive from Destin. The show runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tickets are $10 a day or $15 for the weekend. If you have little ones you may want to go on Saturday over Sunday because Sunday features the Bikini Contest. For more information on this event or others in the area visit our Destin Events Calender.
We ended up missing out on the concert series at Baytowne this week. We did however try out the new Wing Stop Restaurant in Destin. Generally we try and highlight non-chain restaurants but since it is new to the area and a smaller chain so we thought we would share our experience. We started our wing search online. Their site was pretty easy to use and it allowed us to place our order without having to call. I did call to make sure it went through and they had already started cooking our food. I asked them generally how long they need to know in advance and they let us know they only need 15 minutes to get it ready. We tried their family special which included 4 flavors, 50 wings, and 2 sides for only $39.99. We ordered carry out and took it back to our office. All 4 flavors of the wings are pretty good. The sides are about average. We ordered the fries and the bourbon baked beans. The taste of bourbon was very noticeable and the kids did not enjoy them at all. Overall we did enjoy the food. The effortless online ordering and having the wings waiting when we arrived made it extremely easy. Click here to visit their site. For more Destin Restaurants visit our sister site. The season has officially started so stay tuned for more updates!
Today is officially the first week of Spring Break. Destin will have a influx of vacationers the next few weeks. Unlike our neighbors in Panama City, Destin is a family oriented Spring Break area. So if you are making last minute plans or if you are packing to head on down, do not fear the wild and crazy parties you see on TV. This week we are planning to check out the free Concert Series in the village of Baytowne Wharf. Hopefully next week we will have some good photos to share. This is a weekly series so if you are in town I would recommend stopping by. We have also just updated our Destin Event Calender with more details of this event and others. This year there are rooms still open and most companies are offering largely discounted rates on hotel rooms. When you book last minute you are sure to get the best deals. Check out our Cheap Destin Hotels site for the best Hotel rates in town.
We have been designing websites for several years and we are fairly new to blogs. I know it almost seems outrageous that we are just now catching on. The current projects we are working on include Cheap Destin Hotels, Destin Vacation Deals, and Do It In Destin. These sites are not completed but they are up and running. Feel free to give us some ideas. We live in the local area and we decided we wanted to offer a FREE Concierge program as a supplement to our sites. Our idea is to use this blog to give insight into the local area. We plan to update weekly with important content to the Destin area. We want to highlight Destin events, attractions, and deals to start with. If you are a traveler to our area and you have a question about anything feel free to send it our way and we can get it addressed.
