The closest airport to Destin is the Destin–Fort Walton Beach Airport, which is only about 16 miles from the Destin city center and hosts many major airlines. Pensacola International Airport is also an option for Destin-bound vacationers, though you should expect to drive about 60 miles to reach your destination.
Florida residents and other visitors traveling by car can access Destin by way of U.S. Highway 98, which travels east to west along the coast of the Panhandle.
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.
