48 Hours in Destin: Summer on 30A Florida ☀️

Nestled on the dazzling shores of the Florida panhandle is Destin, a coastal city renowned for its pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. It’s coastline is so picturesque that it’s earned the nickname, the “Emerald Coast,” bringing millions of visitors from all over the world every single year. And, not only are the waters beautiful, it’s abundant with fish, granting Destin the noteworthy title of the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village.” We decided to make a trip down to Destin this summer, not really to fish, but to soak up the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico. Join us for 48 hours of fun in the sun on 30A Florida! 🇺🇸

After over half a year later, we present to you a USA-based video once again (!!!!!) 🇺🇸, and this time, we’re showcasing DESTIN, FLORIDA! ☀ If you’ve never visited 30A Florida, it’s definitely a part of the States you’ll want to add to your destination bucket list. 🌴Hope you enjoyed this summery beach video, and stay tuned for next week’s travel vlog- another video filmed in the South! 🧺 We’ll be taking you to Savannah, Georgia, for some old-world elegance and Southern charm. Thank you for being here and for joining us on all our little adventures! 🥰

[@momwalker2706]

Wow we don't have to go Bora Bora or Bahamas to experience white sandy beach and clear water 😮we have it right here in the states. This beach looks amazing I've been searching on Google and KZbin and they don't have this beach on the list I think this is the best beach I've ever seen. Thank you so much y'all too cute btw 🤩💞 definitely going here for vacation 🙏🙌

[@ani9603]

No way guys! I live here in Destin! If you are still here come by and see my husband Greg at the Henderson. So excited to watch.🎉❤

[@ChadandClaire]

Small world!! So funny!

[@funzeevanzee]

Destin, Panama City and Pensacola beaches are my favorite. I love all three of them.

[@jeffreycollins6403]

I love Destin as well… very beautiful place

[@jenniferdouglas4223]

I went to high school with the owner of Crackings! Shrimp and grits are to die for!!!

[@sebk5232]

I have been to Pensacola Beach and immediately recognised the area by the beautiful light before sunset

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Destin, Florida looks as if it is a complete swimmer’s attraction!

[@DaveOverholserLPTRealty]

You both seem like such a great couple...nice and happy. Love to see that. Great video too :)

[@leerivera4464]

I have been recommended to go to Destin. This video just cemented my decision and Destin will be the place to go to! Thanks guys! Be safe and God 🙌 bless.

[@SteveInNEPA1]

Happy 25th birthday, Chad. Enjoy!

[@codelinx]

Wonderful video as always, and very well narrated. Happy 25th birthday Chad!

[@marthabejarano8437]

WOW

[@rebfam706]

[@vaughnmccoy651]

Destin is every bit as good as you confirm. Sand is so white, water is so clear and the local population is so friendly. I fun trip for sure.

[@jessicaj6856]

You are such a beautiful couple.

[@amybeard2054]

The fresh green juices at Camille’s are amazing! So glad you enjoyed your time here and happy birthday!

[@justlookin3]

Happy QUARTER of a CENTURY Chad!

[@bethlef5168]

So fun to watch!!

[@corenasalyers7288]

Happy 25th birthday chad🎉❤🎉 So happy you two had such an amazing vaca in Florida You two have been able to do do much in such a short time of your lives. I love that you share all you experiences all over the world. You two are hilarious that you can entertain each other and yourselves so easy. Only way to be. Safe travels and have a blessed week❤❤

[@bradygaming5034]

cant wait to be there next week with the wife! first time

[@familydutton6568]

Happy, Happier, HAPPIEST Birthday 🎂 🥳 Chad! The panhandle of Florida is so beautiful 😍! We just returned from Navarre FL two weeks ago. We were visiting family who is blessed to live there 🙏🏻. Love your videos 📹! Safe travels 😊

[@carolmartin4413]

Pretty area of Florida. We northerners came here on spring break quite often with our kids. You never went near Ft Lauderdale/Miami where the college kids were. Destin's shoreline is prettier, safer, not crazy and sane...just what you want for a relaxing vacation. Must be a little weird being back in the states?? 😮 Happy Birthday, Chad! 🎉🎉

[@ChadandClaire]

I didn’t realize northerners came down as well, but that makes sense! The beaches are wonderful!!

[@AnchoringHighFrequency]

Who is the artist @ 9:30 “won’t you stay”? So pretty - scenery and song 😊

[@layqen]

destin is my home!! i hope you enjoyed 💗💗

[@marthabejarano8437]

Happy Birthday Chad🎉🎉🎉

[@heisnberg2355]

I am currently in Destin, I hope you enjoyed your stay!

[@dplusd]

Absolutely loved the video. Destin area has the best beaches! Happy birthday to Chad!

[@andregant9980]

Ahhhh, immediately I noticed these dust spots from the dirty sensor. Lol. The pro videographer/photographer in me couldn't get past that for 10 minutes. Loved the overall info and content, tho!

[@lifeatthefino2793]

Please come to Pensacola Beach, same beautiful beach but more history!

[@amourflower9893]

wow Happy Happy birthday to you Chad and many many more wonderful Birthdays. 🍰🍰And Claire I didn't forget you your hairs has grown so long you look nice this summer. lol also it turns out you are very close to where I live so be very safe in the water. Continue to make these amazing videos. Thank you🥰

[@user-um6tk3zj8c]

I love Destin so much! I’m going on the 13 th of august with my gf and I’m going to purpose I can’t wait!

[@jennifergibson1776]

Destin and the gulf are my all time favorite! Great video, and glad you guys are enjoying yourselves. Happy Birthday! Living close to Savannah, I cant wait to see that video! Safe travels you guys! :)

[@terraluna888]

I feel so bad I went to hit the thumbs up and accidentally hit the thumbs down😆 to be clear I loved the video. Such a beautiful part of Florida🌞🌊🪸🐡✨

[@tomahawk5118]

Try Merlin’s pizza in Destin as well as The Back Porch (bronzed Mahi Mahi) fresh from the gulf. You also should eat breakfast at the Donut Hole in Destin. My wife and I married on the beach in Destin at Henderson Beach State Park 17 years ago. Now we are in process of buying a condo across from Pompano Joes at Miramar Beach. Can’t wait. Seaside is worth a visit as is the Naval Air Museum at NAS Pensacola.

[@Jeannified]

Happy Birthday to Chad! Did you guys stay in an Air BnB? Love Destin!

[@holleym2927]

Happy Birthday to you both!!! Glad to see you relaxing on a trip for a change! Growing up in New Orleans the panhandle was the place to go! Now that I live in the north Georgia mountains we frequent Jekyll Island much more. It is a very historic, peaceful place that we have fallen in love with but we do miss the Gulf sometimes. Thanks for taking me for a visit!

[@ChadandClaire]

We have never been to Jekyll island! We will have to add it to the list. Thanks for cheering us on these past few years Holley! We have loved our new routine at home. It’s a lot less busy, but we like it that way!

[@linsmith7566]

We are going to Destin next month so your video came out at the perfect time! The water looks so clear and beautiful! Happy Bday Chad🎉🎊

[@ChadandClaire]

Have fun!!

[@belindaroy9028]

Happy Birthday Chad - lovely to see that Claire is less demeaning that usual. Take are,

[@bradygaming5034]

hopefully my wife will make up with me to see the sunrise... probably not i'll be on beach alone lol...

[@wadebodey8865]

It took us so long to get there

[@wadebodey8865]

I wanna go back so bad

[@raygarciaj]

Insane how flights in the same east coast in USA to go to Destin are the same as if you were traveling to Europe or any other place in the Caribbean

[@allietav2206]

Happy birthday 🎈 beautiful clear water looks like you're in the Dominican Republic.

[@joeylucero4672]

What time of year did you go? I will be there for Cinco de Mayo weekend.

[@giovimarce1008]

Please name of the first beach , loos like a natural Swimming Pool ..I need to visit it please!!!!! @Chad and Claire

[@wadebodey8865]

We went there and it was so hot it was so hot

[@bearsinthemitten8451]

What is the name of the beach you were at? I am going in less than 2 weeks!

[@tabernathy0428]

Go to blue mountain beach or Any in Santa Rosa or Rose Mary on 30A. Same great Sand and Water less crowded than the Destin. They are 20 to 30 mins away

[@orchidsmith3333]

De thuong qua...

[@jimicrack29]

[@georgehorner1578]

Sharks?

[@MajorChaos614]

[@user-wg5qg4vi1c]

That dude has to be loaded

[@FrenchWithStories]

Florida businesses need to really wake up. Closing at 9 PM is not acceptable in this day and age.

[@leister1317]

30A isn’t Destin…

[@ShannonLSmith]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. They are not in Destin, they are in Grayton Beach/Seaside area. Not the same. I get it though, if you not from there you don't know.
