GOODSTUFF♡

I remember a Captain Jewel Melvin who had a nice operation, running charter boats, but this was way back in the early 70's. We often stayed at the old Frangista Motel, not far from the Museum of the Sea and Indian. Yep, I am old...

Absolutely wonderfully done video of my favorite place on earth! Very well done. Destin, I'll see you soon.

As a former Destinite who hasn't been back in over 11 years and now lives in Aberdeen, WA, thank you for this beautiful and wonderful expose' of my ole stomping ground! So great to see what it looks like now - manu more resort condo's and sportfish sleds for sure! And unexpectedly, thanks for showcasing Harbor Docks and Charles Morgan - mainline Destin at it's heart and my all-time fav place! Will always remember when it opened back in 79 and my brother worked there for quite a few years. Best place in town as far as I'm concerned and I miss it to this day! Back when Dad was alive, we'd all pull up to the end of the dock in the Luhrs 50, tie her off, amble in to great food and cold beers, and just sit and feel lucky that we lived where we did! Back in the days of ole' Marina Pointe and fledgling Harry T's before the Emerald Grande and the overcrowded Harborwalk touri haven!

I remember over 20 years ago how quiet it used to be there in Destin

I swam up and down the desk in the harbor many many times I've also walk ran and jumped all the way out to the end of the Jetties and back

Wonderful! Thank you for the video. I'm moving to Santa Rosa Beach at the end of this month! I'm so excited

This is exceptional work. I have been coming here for 35+ years (at Blue Mountain Beach right now) and did not know most of this. Thanks!

I used to vacation in Destin in the late 80s as a kid with my family. There was not much there. Sandestin Resort and a few small hotels. I drove through in 2022 and did not recognize it. It was a wall to wall zoo. Ruined. Thats too bad.

I am Florida's toughest swimmer I swim as long as 6 hours and 10 minutes straight
