Destin Shopping

When the weather won't cooperate or when you've had your fill of sun and sand, indulge in a little retail therapy at one of Destin's shopping complexes. Whether you're looking for charming boutiques, outlet malls or open-air complexes, the Emerald Coast delivers.

The visitors bureau suggests Destin Commons, HarborWalk Village and Downtown Fort Walton Beach in particular. Destin Commons offers an open-air setting with restaurants and national retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch, Express, Bass Pro Shops, Bath & Body Works, H&M, Sephora and more. HarborWalk is the spot for purchasing beachwear or a quick bite to eat, though travelers warn the restaurants here can be pricey. Visitors can also book water sports rentals like Jet Skis, and organize a fishing charter trip, dolphin excursion or parasailing tour at HarborWalk. Downtown Fort Walton Beach is a great choice for anyone seeking a farmer's market atmosphere full of local retailers, including an antique shop and flea market. Travelers especially enjoyed the flea market's affordable and diverse offerings, and they said it's a great place to spend an hour or two. Visitors are also quick to recommend Silver Sands Premium Outlets for deals at stores like Adidas, GAP and Vans. Visit each location's website for more information on hours and stores.
