We enjoyed our sunset cruise so much the first time that we did it again another evening during our stay.įor a small boat experience, pick from this highly-rated speedboat tour (holds 14 passengers). While Destin’s spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed from land, for a very special experience, take a sunset cruise and watch it set from out on the water!
Not only is the white sand beautiful to view, it’s also cool to the feet, so you don’t have to hop in pain if it’s warm out and you are barefoot! #2 Enjoy a romantic sunset (or harbor lights) cruise Over time, the crystals are ground really fine by the action of weather and water, creating the gorgeous sugar-white soft powdery sand on Destin’s beaches. The Apalachicola River has been carrying the quartz crystals from the mountains to the Gulf of Mexico over thousands of years.
Destin’s silver sand beaches are composed of Appalachian quartz.
