When is the best time to visit Destin, Florida? Most people travel to the Florida coast to enjoy plenty of time outside, whether they’re on the beach, sailing, hiking, or fishing. If that’s your goal, you should plan your trip around the best times of year to be outdoors in Destin.
Destin, Florida, weather tends to be warm all year round, but humidity is at its highest point in midsummer. And while winters in the panhandle are mild, the winter months have the highest likelihood of storms.
This means that late spring and late summer are the best times of year to enjoy warm water temperatures and temperate weather in Destin without excessive heat, humidity, or precipitation.
