Lets go fishing!
The history of the Destin spans back to 1693, when the first known map of the area was produced by the Spanish surveyor, Don Francisco Tapia. A few centuries later the area was finally inhabited and settled by a Connecticut fisherman named Captain Leonard Destin around 1845. He founded the fishing industry that still exists today, and Destin is now home to the largest and most elaborately equipped charter fleet in the state of Florida. Fishing remains one of the top leisure activities in Destin.
"Destin...also known as "The World's Luckiest Fishing Village."
