Mark your calendars for festive Holiday events from Destin to 30A. Visiting the beach in December offers unique benefits such as lower rates, reduced crowds, and the weather is usually still nice enough for a stroll on the beach. Book your stay for Christmas or New Year’s now and check out some of the great events. From free carriage rides in Grand Boulevard to the spectacular Destin Boat Parade, you’ll love making holiday memories on the Emerald Coast. Don’t forget to take an evening drive down Scenic Highway 30A to experience the light displays in Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and Alys Beach.
