destin
So I'm currently in the car for this 14 hour drive from saint Louis heading to destin. I'm driving through Memphis now and was thinking what better way to find things to do by asking the guys who live here.
So what's some things that are fun to do while I'm here this week. Thanks guys.

lol Screw O'Quigley's, McGuire's is where it's at. Some of best brewed in house beer, Irish wakes and great food.
Beach is fun, lots of shopping (but LOTS of tourists.)
If you like to bike then you can go out down 30-A in the Seaside/Rosemary Beach area for like day trips or bike rides, it's nice out there and there are more funky local spots out there. Red Bar in Seaside is a fun place to drink.
If you like amusement kind of stuff there is Big Kahuna's Water Park and The Track (go-karts and arcade and mini-golf) but The Track has been kind of dead the past few years.
Personally I'd recommend looking around for places to rent kayaks or canoes and taking it out on the Bay rather than the Gulf. (Watch for the flag colors on the beach- the tide can get rough on the gulf and it's easy to drift out far.)
If you want to do a day trip for a dolphin cruise or deep-sea fishing, you have to go down to the dock by AJ's in the more downtown destin area, I think.
And also at night it's fun sometimes to drink around the Village of Baytowne Wharf. You can just park for awhile and walk around with friends drinking at all the different places in there.
Not sure what kind of stuff you were looking for, but hope that helps.
Oh, and everyone drives under the speed limit, too.
