It’s the perfect place for you and your family can create memories that will last a lifetime.

The Best Things to Do at the Beach
Around Town
Seaside
Seaside is 4.5 miles from San Remo and 3.5 miles from Adagio. Stretching 18 miles along the complete length of Scenic 30A, the paved bike path makes it an easy and fun experience for the entire family. Need extra bikes? Call Bob at Beach Dogs Bike Rentals, and he’ll deliver the bikes to your condo! Check out the Farmers Market at the Village Square going on every Saturday before you check in to your condo, or take in the sunset at Bud and Alley’s.
Gulf Place
Gulf Place is a half-mile from San Remo. Make sure you eat at The Perfect Pig during your visit, and try the Pig “Nachos” and the mouth-watering Pork Tenderloin Medallions. Gulf Place has weekly live music and activities for the kids as well.
Baytowne Wharf
Baytowne Wharf is home to many fun things to do at the beach. Listen to live music on Wednesday nights, watch a movie under the stars every Thursday night, and experience the most amazing obstacle course for the kids. Bring a blanket, a bottle of wine and enjoy.
Wine Festivals
Need an excuse for a girl’s weekend? Make sure you come to one (or both!) of my favorite wine festivals. April is a perfect time to visit the Emerald Coast. The weather is not too hot, and the summer activities are just kicking off. There’s always something fun to do.
Sandestin Wine Festival
The Sandestin Wine Festival is one of the best events in the South Walton Beach area. It’s full of incredible food and food.
South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival
South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival presents great wines, fine foods, world-class tasting seminars, live music from national artists, culinary celebrities, and more. It’s a weekend to escape into a lifestyle where you can be yourself, dress up or come as you are, be seen, or simply lay low. The ONLY requirement is that you have a great time enjoying a convivial gathering at your pace and lose yourself for the weekend.
Fishing
Deep-sea fishing charters is a way of life in Destin, Florida. Did you know Destin is known as the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village? Spending quality time with family while fishing is priceless, and then you can cook what you caught on the condo’s grills. Here are some of our favorite charters:
