COMING THIS REUNION...

NERF WARS

  (Laura has acquired an armory of nerf weapons, all that use the same foam bullets,and hundreds of said bullets for easy reloading.  This is going to be EPIC.)

 

Destin has a large number of tourist-type attractions, such as arcades, a rock-climbing gym, go-karts, etc.  There is also nearby Henderson Beach State Park that offers wildlife viewing, hiking paths, and fishing.  Nearby outfitters can accommodate those who may want to rent boats or other watercraft. 

 

We encourage you to explore the area here:  https://www.destinchamber.com/
