Undoubtedly the most mesmerizing distraction on the Northern Gulf coast is the collaboration of sun-bleached, shocking white shores that stretch like 24 miles (38km) of ribboning white satin along the emerald-jeweled waters. More than 60 percent of the area's beaches will be preserved forever in sweeping, virgin purity. (Beware -- the reflection of the white sands makes sunglasses and substantial sunscreen a must.)
Protecting its "prima donna," pockets of seaside parks with pavilions, gazebos and disadvantaged-accessible wooden dune overwalks peer over a gentle rise of sand dunes and sparsely scattered sea oats. The 208-acre (83ha) Henderson Beach State Park, Wayside (Boardwalk) County Park and James Lee County Park, a new salt-air bazaar with 300 feet (90m) of waterfront, are three of the five parks and twelve beach accessways along Destin and Fort Walton Beach.

Sprawling, snowy white shores provide seating for performances by dancing dolphins and sandpipers, and postcard perfect sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf -- all compliments of Mother Nature.

From peg-legged, patch-eyed pirates and kaleidoscope-colored sailing regattas to scrumptious seaside seafood festivals and awesome angling adventures in the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," more than 400 annual events guarantee a continuous calendar of festival fun. Beach town bashes range from the "Spring Splash" Billy Bowlegs Festival and the jazzy zest of Mayfest to the month-long October Destin Fishing Rodeo and annual Christmas Boat Parade on Okaloosa Island.

A collection of area attractions celebrate simplicity with nothing fancy, just fun "flip-flop" museums and amusements from marine to military. One of America's originals (1955), the Gulfarium hosts 600-pound (270kg) grey seals to two-ounce (56g) clown fish in 14 intriguing exhibits. Delilah the dolphin stars with 18-foot (540cm) skyward leaps. Patriotic pleasure is found at the the U.S. Air Force Armament Museum. Although somewhat riddled with bombs, it is one of only three American Museums dedicated to the display of Air Force weaponry. It spans four wars with 25 planes -- including the reconnaissance SR-71 "Blackbird" Spy Plane -- and 5,000 other items of interest.

Surprisingly, Destin and Fort Walton Beach accommodations provide priceless beach vacations without the price. More than 17,000 Gulf-edged rooms are available from popular hotels and spacious condominiums to a seashore bed and breakfast inn, beach cottages and five-bedroom bungalows. Seaside savings are year-round with exceptional bargains September through February.

Nearby Pensacola Regional Airport and Okaloosa Regional Airport offer continuous service by 13 major airlines. Ground travel is easy along primary feeders: U.S. 98, Highways 331 and 85, and Interstate 10.
