Destin is undoubtedly home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches and sunsets. It is safe to say that gazing upon the colorful sky never gets old, and is the perfect activity for just about anyone to enjoy!
1. Directly on the Beach
The Gulf of Mexico faces south, therefore you can catch a gorgeous sunset from any Destin beach as long as you look to the West. With that being said, just about any Emerald Coast beach will guarantee you a front-row seat to take in a sunset! At Compass Resorts, we have several vacation rental homes that include private beach access, so sunsets are just steps away from your home away from home!
