A Vacation to Destin: Our 5 Favorite Things About Spring

Spring in Destin is pure magic. The weather is warm but not too hot; the Gulf is sparkling, and the crowds haven’t yet reached their summer peak. Whether you're planning a family trip, a couples’ getaway, or a spring break escape with a calmer vibe, Destin delivers sunshine, adventure, and that signature Emerald Coast charm. 

1-Hit the Beach 

Spring is one of the best times to enjoy Destin’s beaches. The water warms up, the sand is soft and cool, and mornings are especially peaceful. 

Where to stay for beachfront bliss: 

Holiday Surf & Racquet Club sits directly on the sand of Holiday Isle, giving you private‑feeling beach access without the summer crowds. Guests love the wide shoreline, complimentary beach service, and the ease of walking from condo to water in minutes. 

2-Book a Fishing Charter or Dolphin Cruise 

Destin isn’t called the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” for nothing. Spring is prime season for inshore fishing, deep‑sea trips, and dolphin cruises that glide through the emerald water. 

Pro tip: 

Holiday Surf’s location on Holiday Isle puts you just minutes from Destin Harbor, where most charters depart. No long drives, no parking stress—just easy access to the water. 

3-Explore HarborWalk Village 

Spring brings live music, outdoor dining, fireworks, and seasonal events to HarborWalk Village. It’s the perfect place to stroll, shop, grab a cocktail, or enjoy fresh Gulf seafood with a view. 

Don’t miss: 

• The weekly spring fireworks 

• Live music on the main stage 

• Fresh oysters at East Pass Seafood & Oyster House 

4-Bike or Walk the Scenic Trails 

Destin’s spring weather is ideal for outdoor exploration. Rent bikes or take a long walk along: 

• Norriego Point (gorgeous views of the East Pass) 

• The Destin Harbor Boardwalk 

• Scenic Highway 98 

Holiday Surf’s quiet Holiday Isle location gives you easy access to peaceful roads and paths perfect for morning rides. 

5-Catch a Sunset on Holiday Isle 

Spring sunsets in Destin are unreal—soft pastels, warm breezes, and long golden hours. Holiday Surf’s beachfront location gives you front‑row seats every evening.
