There’s also one in Pensacola but both are awesome to go to. There’s over a million dollars in dollar bills stapled to the inside walls and ceiling of the restaurant!!! They have an interesting choice of burgers such as the peanut butter burger (my favorite), and are known for their alcoholic beverage called the Irish Wake. Very popular tourist restaurant.

Navarre Beach
The best beach on the Emerald Coast
One of this areas best kept secrets. Not a lot of visitors go to this beach and if there is a crowd you can spread very very far out. We go here when we want to be left alone!

TONS of stairs but once you get to the top the view is breathtaking. It is on a military base so check restrictions first. Last time I checked civilians were not allowed on because of COVID.

Shops and restaurants and just a cool place to walk around at. They have zip lining as well. Getting to Destin can be rough in the summer, but it’s worth the drive.

Great for kids of all ages. My son absolutely loves this place. You can buy food to feed some of the animals, including the giraffes! They have a cafe for food, and a gift shop for souvenirs. There’s also a train ride (you have to pay extra for it) that takes you around part of the park to see some of the animals. There’s also a pretty nice playground for the kids to play at as well.
