Almost every beach resort Destin Florida features offers easy access to a slew of family-friendly Destin attractions in the area. Destin itself is renowned as a family-based coastal city where by day there are myriad things to captivate, and by night parents that can enjoy a break will find a host of entertainment options. Whether you want to take the kids out fishing, head off on a private seaside discovery, or just hit the outlet malls, Destin beach resorts are close to it all.

The Palms of Destin is a business travelers dream because of the sleek conferencing capabilities but the business front is easily superceded by its massive, lagoon-style pool. Hours and hours of fun can be had splashing through the monstrous, man-made basin which is an absolute favorite among children. The Palms is ideal for family reunions but if that isn’t in the cards, the one, two, and three bedroom rentals are perfect for well-needed time away with the family. This beach resort Destin Florida has to offer provides all the comforts of home; flat screen TVs, full kitchens, two bathrooms, an onsite laundry. Private balconies provide 24-hour access to the best gulf views. And when a little private time comes your way, head straight to the Royal Palm Spa, a top-rate Destin spa and the only one of all Destin beach resorts to offer a uniquely Polynesian experience.

The Resorts of Pelican Beach (pictured) are a simple boardwalk jaunt from the many inspiring Destin beaches. Bilateral towers house more than 3000 condo units within 19 towering stories. Meeting facilities, swimming pools, and fitness centers begin a long list of amenities both tower guests enjoy. One tower is set away from, yet still close to, the beach and makes up for the few minutes walk to the water with a striking lake featuring a beautiful fountain lighting up at each sunset. For a minimal amount, kids aged 4 through 12 can take part in the fun at the Pelican Playzone, one of the best kids programs of all Destin family beach resorts. Scores of kid-friendly things to do, like theme nights, games, and crafts are supervised by fully-trained recreation staff. Being across the road from one of Destin’s best amusement parks, Big Kahuna's Lost Paradise, isn’t a bad deal either.
