Destin, Florida
Nicknamed the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” this budget-friendly destination has become one of the most popular vacation spots for retirees in the Florida Panhandle.
What was once a sleepy fishing town, today a bridge connects the skinny peninsula with the Sunshine State’s mainland. This town maintains an intimate, friendly atmosphere with a population of about 13,000 people, which doubles over the summer months.
Many people flock to Destin’s beaches every summer to enjoy the area’s trademark shores, made up of pure Appalachian quartz. The distinctive sand not only stays cool in the heat of the summer, but with the sunlight’s reflection, it even gives the waters an emerald hue.
This is the perfect place to sit back and unwind with a drink in hand. And if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous while on this budget-friendly destination, you can snorkel and scuba dive off the coast or rent a boat to try your luck at deep-sea fishing.
