Why
is it called Emerald Coast? The water! Our white sand beaches
and clear water produces tropical blue-green colors. Add beautiful
Florida weather, ever-present dolphins skimming your bow wave,
and...paradise!

What
do you want to do? Museums, world-famous beaches, fishing
and marine wildlife, golfing, restaurants and nightlife, serene
anchorages and busy Destin Harbor. Shalimar Marina is close to
all of this and more. Ask our marina concierge to help you find
what you're looking for.
Destin
has a colorful history. Part frontier, part tourist and fishing
village, Destin has grown into a major environmental, tourist,
watersport and even military area. Learn
more about Destin's history.

Located
next to the warm Gulf of Mexico in northwest Florida means year-round
