It's probably not the fishing that draws you to gorgeous Destin, Florida. Of course, every couple has a different romantic personality, and perhaps an enjoyment for deep sea fishing is part of yours. But perhaps you simply want to be embraced by the romantic scenery of this gorgeous resort area on the famous Emerald Coast.

If each beautiful beach area in the world were a gemstone, the Destin beaches are emerald like the Caribbean is sapphire. The rich yet clear color is especially striking next to the dazzling white sand that literally tickles your toes with its powdery, non-compacting texture. You'll find all the water sports you love here, including snorkeling, diving, wave runners, and jet skis. You'll find more emerald glory off the beach in Destin's beautiful golf resorts.

Your romantic journey may begin with a classy, white-sand-emerald-sea I do , but it continues in a luxurious resort like one of the beautiful Sandestin establishments or in a cottage, condo, villa, or hotel perfect for your needs. Many of the resorts offer live music at night, so you and your loved one might find yourselves lulled into evening serenity by live reggae at places like AJ's Club Bimini.. Despite the call of the sand and sea, you may be more drawn to a destination wedding near the beautiful Wesley Mansion at Eden Gardens State Park. The name alone should tip you off to the storybook romance around every corner of this gorgeous estate. After the wedding guests have departed, be sure to enjoy a private picnic-for-two on these breathtaking grounds, draped with romance like the Spanish moss drapes the Oak trees overhead.
