Sports At Santa Rosa Beach And Other Area Communities
There is an excellent bike path which runs along county road C30A, and is being extended into Santa Rosa Beach. It is still in work in some places, but when complete, will allow you to ride from the county line at Miramar beach, Florida, all the way to Inlet beach, without getting on a roadway. This is a distance of around 27 miles. You ride about 20 feet off the roadway, along side woods and small lakes. There are some wooden bridges crossing the lakes. The western part of this path into Miramar beach hasn't been started yet, and the eastern portion is in work as this is being written. If you have bikes, do bring them if you have room. If you don't have bikes, or room to bring them, you can rent bikes at reasonable rates locally.
Kayaking is also a popular sport, and you will find that it is easy and extremely enjoyable. You can see dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine creatures in the crystal clear waters of the gulf of Mexico. If you don't own a kayak you can rent them locally as well. Most of the rental operators rent sit on top kayaks, which are easy to learn to use. Local rates are very reasonable. When you rent your Destin beach condo, set aside ten percent for fun rentals.
Snorkeling is another popular activity because of the exceptional water clarity. Although we are too far north for coral reefs, most people still find it an enjoyable activity, as there are marine creatures to see here.
