Here on the Gulf Coast, we’ve got a saying about autumn:
“You can tell it’s fall in Florida when the license plate colors start
changing.” Now, that might sound like a complaint. We don’t enjoy the same
vibrant foliage or seasonal harvests that they’ve got in other states, and
sometimes it’s tricky to tell that the season’s even changed at all. But that’s
actually one of the best things about fall in Florida!
Do you like our white-sand beaches, but hate fighting crowds
for a spot for your towel? Want to enjoy the sun, but avoid the humidity? Love
staying at our world-class hotels, but hate paying peak season prices? Then you should vacation in Florida in the
fall. Destin and Sandestin offer all the same great benefits as in the summer—beautiful
beaches, warm water, awesome amenities, delicious food—but you don’t have to
share!
What’s the weather like? In Destin, the high temperature for a
typical day is 88° F in
September, and 80° F in
October. To put things in perspective, during Spring Break season we’re usually
looking at highs of 76°-83°, and daily highs in the summer months
hover between 88° and 90°.[1]
So autumn still offers that signature, summery Florida warmth.

Plus, here in Destin, there are a ton of fun fall events! Amateur
anglers and pros alike pour into town throughout October for our famous Destin Fishing Rodeo. This
month-long festival has been going on for over 60 years, bringing in more than 30,000 competitors
each year. It’s free to enter, but entrants are eligible for over $100,000 in
prizes.

Of course, once all
those prize-winning Mackerels, Marlins, and Groupers are caught, somebody’s gotta
eat ‘em! Luckily, there’s the Destin Seafood
Festival at the beginning of October.
If you’re on the hunt for fresh, local seafood, the Emerald Coast certainly has
you covered. This weekend festival showcases the best of Destin’s arts, music,
entertainment, and, of course, seafood—did we mention the fireworks?
Add to this calendar
the Destin Festival of the Arts, the Emerald Coast Boat Show, the South Walton
Celebrity Golf Classic, and a score of other cultural activities, and you’ve got one great
lineup to make for one great vacation.
Book your fall
in Florida now!
