What to do and see in Destin, Florida (FL): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

January 4, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Destin is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which gets its name from its beautiful, clear green water. Beaches here have extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles, this could be a great destination for you.

First time I ever had a massage on vacation. I was dealing with this lower back pain for three months. I had to get back on a four hour flight the next day so I came to Surfside Spa in hopes of relieving just a little of my pain. But I didn't expect for Judith Paradiso to completely take it all away!! I'm serious!!! She is amazing. I haven't had any lower back pain since leaving her office in October. My only regret is I wish I lived in that state. She's the best!!!!!

My husband and I scheduled a couples massage during our stay in Destin at the Emerald Sanctuary Spa. It was just what we needed and more! The staff was professional and very accommodating. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. We left feeling relaxed and much better! Highly recommend.

The 90 minute session with Palma was an incredible experience. It was more than just a massage. Palma shared with me a variety of holistic therapy methods and the effect that they had on the human body. Definitely a highlight of my trip. Susan Lee
