ROMANCING THE BEACH ON FLORIDA’S EMERALD COAST

August 4, 2009

Couple at Sunset

DESTIN • FORT WALTON BEACH • OKALOOSA ISLAND, Fla. -- Memories are forever, pictures are worth a thousand words and vacations are meant to be permanent. The Emerald Coast on Florida’s upper Gulf offers starry-eyed couples the opportunity to create memories while strolling hand-in-hand along 24 miles of sugar white sands and brilliant emerald green waters. Fall is the perfect time to visit Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island as the beaches are less crowded and lovers benefit from lower rates (www.destin-fwb.com).

As Summer fades and Fall harvests emerge, couples choose vacation hideaways harboring the most exhilarating desires. From enchanting cottages with porches and piers to an intimate bed and breakfast with rocking chairs and swings, nearly 16,000 guest rooms dot the Emerald Coast shoreline, providing views of sea oats dancing in the winds and glorious sunrises and sunsets.

The fall calendar unearths a variety of Indian Summer festivals and competitions for every age. Sporty adventures include the Destin Seafood Festival Golf Classic, while the month-long Destin Fishing Rodeo in October keeps seafarers in a fishing frenzy. To tantalize tempted taste buds, the Destin Seafood Festival, Festa Italia and the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival displays a plentiful selection of harvested local favorites.

Unpretentious, breathtakingly beautiful and named the “No. 1 Beach Town in the South” for 14 consecutive years by the readers of Southern Living, Florida’s Emerald Coast is famous for 24 miles of sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters. Year-round, vacationers indulge in simple pleasures – from the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” and 1,080 holes of challenging golf to sunrise walks and sunset sails are compliments of Mother Nature.

To plan a romantic weekend beach escape, call the Emerald Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau at (800) 322-3319 or visit www.destin-fwb.com.
