centers here have become a major attraction to rival theme parks and the beach.
- Silver Sands features more than 100 factory outlets in a tropical, open-air atmosphere.
- Destin Commons runs the gamut from a Bass Pro Shop to an interactive courtyard fountain
and 14-screen theater.
- The Village at Baytowne Wharf is a unique shopping district at the east end of Destin.
Destin has become a coastal trend-setter, with some of the region’s hottest cuisine
coming from Destin’s kitchens and grills. Each of these favorites is located near
Sterling’s Destin resorts.
