Sounds like we may just hangout in inlet beach.

Take her to seaside to walk around one morning anyway. Its where they filmed the Truman Show. Little shops, food trucks, the shrimp place I mentioned, etc.

Our family is going to Watersound 8/10-8/15, same general area you'll be staying.
Look forward to your dining/entertainment report!

We were in Destin about a month ago and ate at Pompano Joe's. Food was pretty good, but the wait time was almost two hours. Wait times were crazy everywhere. Go early. We waited at one of the covered picnic tables on the sand and had a few drinks.

The scenery right in front of me while we waited wasn't bad either.

Damn did you see the feet on that girl!

I'll be in Destin 8/8-8/12
Company thing, they usually schedule it in early May, not looking forward to the mass of humanity.

Peg-leg Pete's in Pensacola Beach is our favorite! And the Key lime pie at Flounders is hard to beat

There is a little place in Navarre called the Slippery Mermaid if you like sushi. They have lots of different options some cooked and some not. My wife doesn’t even like sushi and she loves the place. It can get crowded though.

my sources told me

McQuires

Pompano Joes

and he said the best donuts in the world are at - Donut Holes

that's all i got.......

I see people recommending pompano joes. Let me just say that place is absolute garbage. We ate there earlier this month and waited over 1.5 hours for some of the most worthless, garbage sea food I’ve ever eaten. It’s terrible.

We go to PCB every summer with the kids. Heading there next week actually.

Sharky's is pretty fun and worth a stop at least once. Runaway Island is probably the best place food-wise. Their crab cakes appetizer is incredible and we usually end up getting two orders of them. Pretty much anywhere can have a long wait at dinner so go with a good attitude and plan to have a few drinks before being seated.
