June 27, 2010
DESTIN • FORT WALTON BEACH • OKALOOSA ISLAND — Florida’s Emerald Coast – encompassing the southern sea towns of Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island – come together to inspire costal camaraderie with a FREE Summer Concert Series, kicking off this Sunday, June 27, 2010, at 5 pm CST on Okaloosa Island, adjacent to The Boardwalk. In an effort to support area businesses during this crucial time along the entire Gulf Coast, Kenny Loggins and The Doobie Brothers will kick-off the first of many concerts to come (www.destin-fwb.com).
Everyone can lend a hand by coming down and stimulating local hoteliers, restaurants, and local attractions with their business while enjoying FREE concerts that promise plenty of songs to fill the evening with entertainment, inspiration, and summer memories. Florida’s Emerald Coast– voted the “Best Beach Town in the South” and one of the top five “Favorite Family Vacation Destinations” for 14 consecutive years by the readers of Southern Living reminds vacationers that the moments you live for, still live here at Florida’s Emerald Coast.
Along with summer’s wide range of concerts to come, Florida’s Emerald Coast still offers year-round attractions and activities for families, from watching dolphins dance at Florida’s Gulfarium and angling the “big one” while deep sea fishing at the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” to teeing off on more than 1,080 holes of golf, and dining at more than 400 easy-going eateries that are simple in atmosphere yet spiced with character, serve to-die-for dishes and offer southern hospitality.
A variety of accommodations are available this summer, from beachfront hotels to condominiums and vacation homes. Families of all sizes are happy at Southern Resorts, offering rentals along the Panhandle, with one-bedroom condos starting at $166/night. Couples relax and unwind at The Ramada Plaza Beach Resort, a romantic beachfront hotel in Fort Walton Beach starting at $199/night.
