History

Destin Beach is a popular vacation destination located in the Florida Panhandle. The area's history can be traced back to the early 1800s, when it was primarily inhabited by Native Americans and a few scattered fishing villages.

In the late 1800s, a man named Leonard Destin moved to the area and established a fishing village, which would later become the town of Destin. The village was known for its abundant fishing opportunities, particularly for mullet and redfish, and quickly grew into a thriving commercial fishing community.

Throughout the 20th century, Destin continued to develop as a tourist destination. The construction of the Destin Bridge in 1935 made it easier for visitors to reach the area, and the development of the Gulf of Mexico as a popular vacation spot helped to increase the number of visitors to Destin.
