Night Time in Destin
Walk along the quiet beach at night listening to the waves crashing against the shore, the smell of the salty sea air, and the caw of a nearby sea gull before you stroll home. If you think you are seeing ghosts, you are, those little critters you see running along the sea line are called ghost crabs and truly look ghost like.
Or…..if you prefer a little more excitement at night, Destin offers lots of clubs with live entertainment, restaurants and bars to suit every lifestyle. Most locals like to hang out at the boardwalk at Harbor Village.

Dear Sir / Madam
Please, are the days in Destin, panhandle , in January sunny? How many hours of sunshine do one get in January on average? Is It sunny enough to sit in the sun without freezing myself half to death?
Will appreciate a reply.
Sincerely,
Marina Simon.
It is pretty sunny here. Define freeze to death, as us Floridians tend to break out the UGGs in 70 degree weather, whereas our snowbirds are enjoying a tan.
