About Destin
Destin is advertised as the worlds luckiest fishing village, and most folks who have ever been here would certainly agree with that. A spanish explorer, Don Francisco Tapia surveyed the east pass in 1693, and made the first map of the area. Destin traces it's name and immediate history to Captain Leonard Destin, a new england fisherman, who moved here from New London Connecticut around 1845. Captain Destin was a pioneer in the local fishing industry. For years Destin was known only to a loyal following of fishermen who traveled here from all over the united states for the great fishing.
