Family Spring Break Vacation for 2022

Every day should be a beach day.

 

Destin is one of our all-time favorite spring break getaways. One of the best beaches in the Florida. We recently stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel Destin Miramar Beach.  We were very impressed with the hotel, the complimentary breakfast with a delicious buffet as well as made to order omelets, and eggs.  It comes with two complimentary drinks per guest, this was a definite bonus! The hotel is very clean and very open concept which we loved. We enjoyed the beach and the restaurant across the road was very convenient as well.  Excellent customer service. The room was very comfortable and spacious. We want to come back here again sometime soon.

Taking our toddler to the beach - Florida Getaway

The beach is one of the best places for a couple to relax and to take your toddler because there’s nowhere to hide and plenty of visibility.  Toddlers will enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and you’ll enjoy getting a tan. Just like our little boy this is probably our toddler’s first real vacation... at least where he is more mobile.  So we let him lead the way, get dirty and have fun.  If you let your little one lead their way you may be surprised at where you end up.

 

It was early April when we  took our boy on a spontaneous trip to the beach to unwind and change of scenery as well.

Things to do in Destin Weekend Getaways

One of our favorite weekend getaways is to Destin. Florida.  It is a 7-8 hour drive from our location, so we try to get there about 1-2 times a year.  It is located in the area of Florida called “The Panhandle” because it is shaped like it is the handle of Florida when viewing it on a map.  It is located on the Gulf of Mexico, and is also called the Gulf Coast of Florida and The Emerald Coast due to its beautifully clear colored ocean water.  Destin beaches are characterized by their clear blue/green water and white sand, which is commonly referred to as “sugar sand”.  But trust us, it isn’t because it is sweet 😀 .  The texture and appearance of the sand is similar to sugar.

We enjoy all the beaches but have noticed that each have their own attributes.  Beached located within Destin city limits and to the west seem to have more activity and people.  Food vendors, beach volleyball, a few restaurants, and piers are all located in these areas.  During peak times, these beaches can get quite busy with mostly under 50+ crowd.  So if you like being around people and don’t mind social interaction, then these beaches are for you.  There are many hotels, rental units, and restaurants within close proximity to each other and many that are right on the beach.  Beach and restaurant parking can be challenging at times so be prepared. Shopping centers abound and traffic isn’t bad.

Back to the Beach in Destin Florida

This is our third visit, and still the best place to stay in Destin. Located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, which gets its name from its beautiful, clear green water. Beaches here have extremely fine, soft sand, so if you’re a beach-walker or your kids enjoy building sand castles, this could be a great family destination. 

Here are some tips for you all: 

• If you come to Destin in March or April, keep in mind that it's high season — prices are higher, and it tends to be noisier and more crowded.

• If you come in July - August the temperature is in high 90's.

• Remember to wear comfortable footwear and clothing, keep yourself hydrated throughout the day, and use sunscreen.

• If you want to avoid peak season, October and November are quieter months. During low season, restaurants and attractions stay open and keep normal hours.

The best days are the B.E.A.C.H. days!

Our Seaside Escape in Miramar Beach

We absolutely loved visiting this beautiful Emerald Coast beach of Florida. Our favorite spot an easy access beach from our hotel. Not so crowded even on summer season. Its' an 8 hours drive from where we live but  it has been worth the money every time we come here.

Miramar Beach Florida

We just love summer days. Our  last beach vacation for 2015 was a blast , the Florida beach was amazing! It's been a month now and I'm already having withdrawals. We must go back soon! Next year we are planning to spend most of our time at the beach. 

There is nothing more calming than the sounds of the waves hitting the beach. I always forget all my worries behind when my feet are in the sand. The sand in Miramar beach (Destin, FL) is perfect, almost snow-like  and the crystal clear water (most of the time), the beaches are a little piece of heaven.

A Dream Vacation in Destin

If you ask me what is my favorite place in the world right now? I will tell you Destin Florida. I have been to few beaches in United States. Just this year we have been to the Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, and I have never seen a beach more beautiful than the ones in Destin.  The beaches are breathtaking. The sand is soft and white; it is so smooth that is squeaks when you walk on it.
