[@terryts2]

As a local I can say Destin is like a hidden paradise of a beach town. You guys will love it. It gets crowded beginning in spring break and doesn’t let up until football season but even then it’s awesome. 4th of July is probably the busiest day but if you go to a good spot you will see fireworks all along the coast. Plus there are so many restaurants to try both local and national chains. Bonefish Grill is my first choice. Destin Commons is like the shopping hub and has the AMC at its heart but for the best movie experience you’ll have to go to the Carmike. The silver sands outlet is also a great place to shop. And of course tons of fun stuff: gulfarium, the track, parasailing, skiing, go karts, arcades and more Best time of the year to come though is around October because the water is clear, tourism is low and the heat isn’t has harsh. And finally if you go to the beach at 9am or 4pm you can look out and see dolphins

[@CampTravelExplore]

Great insights, thanks for adding them to this for us!

[@kimhays9362]

We lived across the street from Henderson Beach in the mid- eighties. Absolutely beautiful. It has changed so much since we lived there, but it is still gorgeous. I used to iron clothes out on our balcony and I could see the water and beach. We could hear the waves at night while we slept.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thats so great! We just discovered the area about 6 years ago and fell in love with it!!

[@jsmomx8]

MANY years ago I was on way home from a trip...took a wrong turn and went by destin beach...did not STOP. I fell in love!!! Went home got rid of everything..got a van was moving to destin. 3 days before I left a hurricane came...I heard destin was destroyed!! Nothing left but toothpicks n trash....I was heart broken...I've never gone back. :( recently discovered destin on you tube...I want to go. Born n raised in orlando I'm scared of hurricanes!!! I know I will never live in destin but someday I will visit and walk the beach....I'm 68 now. It's a bucket list dream

[@CampTravelExplore]

We discovered Destin really just about 5 years ago and now we try to get back there once a year! It is so worth it! Im glad you enjoyed the video!!

The water is much more emerald than shown here. The sand so powdery white and clean. Stunning to see in person

[@CampTravelExplore]

Do you like the beach at Henderson SP or Grayton Beach SP better? so incredible both of them!!

[@krissto22]

We were there last Feb, but it was pretty cold and windy, but caught the most beautiful sunset. Yes, beautiful beach, beautiful campground, lots of privacy. Wish I was there now 😔

[@CampTravelExplore]

Oooh Feb probably was cold, I love it there in October, perfect temps for us!!

[@neciechantei2456]

Henderson Beach is the best because it’s monitored and cared for. Bathrooms always clean. You have to pay to go to this one through Henderson Park..Not much but a fee.. it closes as well.. never over crowded! It’s my favorite for peaceful time.. I lived in Destin for 7 years.. actually here now.. here often..can be cold from November through March actually with some sporadic warm days or warmer days.. it’s not South Florida weather..but beautiful!

YUP! We have in-laws who own a house in Miramar Beach on Newman Dr. Right across Old Scenic 98 from Pompano Joe's....one of our favorite watering holes! Been going down from Northern Indiana (Goshen) for the last 10 or 12 years. We've stayed at their house or traveled down with our 40' 5th wheel when we want to stay for longer periods of time. Yes, there are always new things to see and food to taste! If wife would say the word....we'd hook up the RV and head down right now!!

[@CampTravelExplore]

That is so great!!

[@fredfleming8905]

Excellent video sad to see my old stomping grounds so commercialized. I can remember back in the late 50's and early 60's we use to go on the bay side starting at the Destin Bridge we use to go hunting along the cliffs for Indian pottery. We could sit in the water at certain sites and reach down in the sand and pick up pieces of pottery. The people we went with had an enormous collection of Indian Pottery. They put it in the museum by the Indian Mound in Ft. Walton Beach. Their name was Lazarus. I can tell you before the commercialization of that area it was a paradise of beautiful beaches and water. We use to gig crabs on the bay side between Brooks Bridge and the Destin Bridge. We would fill up a tub in no time. Hoping to make a trip that way before I die.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Wow such great memories you have of such a stunning area! I hope you get back to visit there soon!!

I live here in Pinellas county, 15 min from Ft DeSoto, I’ll have to make the trip up there.

[@CampTravelExplore]

It is so worth it!

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

I live about 20 minutes from ft. DeSoto also in Pinellas Park and I agree that I need to take a trip to Henderson but would need a second person to tow my boat up. Boat rentals are to much money otherwise. I would want to tow my camper up. However though not a fan of ft. DeSoto, we have a week stay coming up in March for out of town relatives followed by blue springs in Gilchrist , then rainbow river and Henderson might as well be on that list being close to Gilchrist. It is my thinking plans of one week at Gilchrist going straight to a week in Henderson before making the trip to Pinellas but I must check how long in advance does reservations need to be for Henderson in advanced to coordinate it perfectly. Does anyone know? I know Gilchrist takes about one month which is actually short.

[@imstuckinthe80s39]

I grew up here in this area in the 50’s and early 60’s when Destin was a tiny fishing village. We used to hunt the area for Indian artifacts, pottery and such. It was everywhere back then. During this time there was one hotel between Panama City and Pensacola. I think it was called the Jack Tar motel/hotel. Boy have things changed...if you think this area is pristine today you should have seen it in the 50’s. Beautiful big white sand dunes before the dune buggies knocked them down. Fortunately the water is still beautiful and the white sand beaches are still pretty as ever. Florida is my home and I really miss living there....Texas beaches suck.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thats so great, thanks for sharing!!

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

I've always said there's no reason to drive any further into Florida than Destin. It's the most beautiful beach in Florida as far as I'm concerned. It's been 25 plus years since I've been and as Fred said, it's changed so much even since I was there, let alone when Fred grew up when it was truly pristene. We camped right on the beach once and woke up in a hurricane! We had no idea it was coming! I'll never forget it. There used to be a cinder block motel with no phone and it was right on the beach and affordable. I think it was called Silver Dunes. I wish I could go back and it would still be the same. Again, as Fred said, the beaches are white and the water is clear as ever, so I will get back there again one day. I wish I still had that bikini body! Oh well!

I would put Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key way above this beach and others in the panhandle. The sand is the same, they are much more tropical looking, the water can be quite turquoise/Caribbean-like, and you can swim there for 3-4 more months out of the year.

[@cashonly6117]

All of the Gulf coast in NW Florida panhandle is like this. We are so fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. Since Panama City made a conscious effort to curtail alot of spring breakers some years back, Destin has become overloaded. The spring breakers and snowbirds have taken over. Crab Island is great for the partiers, but it once was so beautiful to go there and be able to fish and crab, hence the reason it was named crab island. Sorry just my opinion, I have lived here for years. You can't keep a good thing secret forever.

Beautiful

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much!

I live in Santa Rosa Beach

[@CampTravelExplore]

Wow what a great place to live and take in those beaches any time you want!!

[@babsgaudreau5936]

Why is no one in the water?

[@CampTravelExplore]

It was great that day, if you walk a little ways down from the main entrance to the beach, there was hardly anyone there, you almost had it to yourself!

[@elli0tbriggs]

What does the yellow flag mean?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Not sure entirely without looking it up, but they monitor riptides there as they occur quite often!

[@bramir13]

Is this walking distance accessible?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes it is!

[@nitaell]

Price for campsites?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Typically all Florida Sate parks are in the same range of 30-35 a night.

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

Another great video... very informative. You and I appreciate the same style of delivery. I noticed you didn't use any drone footage in this video; are drones allowed at this park?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much for the kind feedback! Yeah I couldn't find a spot to fly the drone because we were too close to an executive airport! Did you check out our newest one from Grayton beach yet? I got some drone shots there from just outside the state park!

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

@@CampTravelExplore Yes, your Grayton Beach video is the first one I saw and I immediately subscribed to your channel. I'm planning on heading to FL in November and I put Grayton State Park at the top of my list of places to check out. I love Destin and Crab Island so I will probably check this park out too. Thanks for the amazing videos and awesome info!

[@CampTravelExplore]

I look forward to catching more of your episodes as well! Much success to you!

[@WildWonderfulWeekends]

@@CampTravelExplore Thanks!!

[@Gopheller1]

Do they allow metal detecting?

[@CampTravelExplore]

You know I'm not sure on that one

[@PVo-1111]

Whats the camping fee and is there advanced booking online or can we just show up.

[@CampTravelExplore]

You go on Reserve America for reservations to all Florida state parks! 30.00 a night is the going rate. Hope I helped you :)

[@PVo-1111]

@@CampTravelExplore thanks that does help alot since everything is different from state to state now.

[@jamiephillips5930]

Double red means don't go in. People were getting arrested for going in with a bad rip current on Double red.

[@raising-arrows]

Anyone know if there are campfire rings?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes they sure do. I believe all Florida state parks do as well at least the ones we have filmed do!

[@raising-arrows]

Thank you so much!

[@susanmueller6223]

Do they have tent camping available

[@CampTravelExplore]

I believe 48 of their sites are for RV or Tent and two Tent only sites are available as well. Thanks for watching!!

[@christinebrigham4732]

Can you walk your dog on the beach?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Not on any state beach that I know of.

[@_carnivore_joe1520]

Double red doesn't mean "probably a little dangerous" It means its actually against the law to enter the water, due to high rip or other hazards. I cant tell you how many people ignore this and die when they come down to visit. It is vitally important for visitors to know and pay attention to the flags.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You for the additional insight, we just wanted to get people realizing they have the flag system up and down the panhandle beaches we visited and want people paying attention to them! Appreciate your feedback!

[@_carnivore_joe1520]

@@CampTravelExplore We moved here 5 years ago, and it’s truly sad when we hear the news reports during peak season, when visitors ignore or don’t know about the warnings, and then die as a result. People’s family’s end their vacations in a horrific and tragic manor, because they don’t respect the water.

[@Nathanvoie]

When is the best time of year to come here?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I love October there, not hot but really nice!

[@gregjones1929]

Destin is great, traffic not so much...

[@CampTravelExplore]

Totally agree with that! Its the only downside to this park!

[@caprimungeam662]

Did you know a company called Beach Sand Sculptures will come right to Henderson Beach State Park and teach your family how to build 3 1/2 ft tall Sandcastles?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thats awesome, I did not know that, share their info if you would

Let's go

Yes, get out there and check it out! Happy New Year!

Wonder how prevalent the COVID is there

[@CampTravelExplore]

It was less crowded than I usually see it for sure!
