National Geographic Traveler Names The Emerald Coast One of their "Best Fall Trips 2011"
!  (8/15/11)

National Geographic Traveler introduced their article saying "Cooler temperatures, striking colors, smaller crowds—autumn is the perfect time to travel, ..." We couldn't agree more!

The Emerald Coast

Autumn along northwestern Florida’s 24-mile-long Emerald Coast brings fewer tourists and lower, “value season” rates to the wide, sugar-white beaches of Destin, Fort Walton, and Okaloosa Island. The summer-worthy temperatures (highs in the 80s, lows in the 60s) are ideal for swimming in clear, emerald-green Gulf of Mexico waters or for golfing the more than 1,080 manicured, championship holes. October’s month-long Destin Fishing Rodeo draws more than 30,000 saltwater anglers to the self-proclaimed World’s Luckiest Fishing Village to compete for daily, weekly, and overall prizes. Watch the daily weigh-ins of king mackerel, marlin, sailfish, and other game fish on the docks at A.J.'s Seafood & Oyster Bar. Sample fresh-from-the-docks seafood at historic Staff’s Restaurant, the Emerald Coast’s first eatery, which is housed in a 1913 barrel-shaped Fort Walton warehouse and open daily for dinner. The signature Broiled Skillet—grouper, shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat stuffing drizzled with cheese—comes with baskets of fresh-baked wheat bread."

The Beach Continues To "Grow" at Pelican Beach
 (5/22/11)

Beaches rarely stay "the same". Storms, tides, etc. can change the shape of a beach. Over the course of a few years, there may be erosion and a beach will gradually decrease in size. Other years, natural replenishment occurs and the beach grows in size and depth.

Guests and staff at Pelican Beach have noticed over the past year a steady increase in the size of the beach. We have reviewed recent images and the contour of the beach and have found in the range of 80 to 100 feet of sand have been deposited over the past year or so.

We're not scientists or surveyors and our numbers are in-exact ... but we are encouraged the trend will continue!

Snowbirds Flock To The Resorts of Pelican Beach! (1/31/11)

The Resorts of Pelican Beach, one of central Destin’s premier resort properties, has announced that the annual 'Snowbird' season is in full swing with many winter rental guests in house again this year.  Each year, retirees and vacationers, affectionately known as 'Snowbirds' migrate from the northern United States and Canada to spend up to three months in one of the resort’s fully furnished and professionally managed beachfront, beach view or gulf view condominiums. 

Winter monthly rentals are available beginning November 1through the end of March and have become very popular for retirees wishing to avoid the cold winter weather in places like Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Canada.  Many "snowbirds" call the Emerald Coast home for one to three months every year.  These winter renters take advantage of the great year-round weather, restaurants, golf, shopping, and entertainment while relaxing in a fully-furnished condominium that is convenient to everything the area has to offer.

The Resorts of Pelican Beach offers an activity program to guests throughout the snowbird season. In fact, Pelican Beach’s extensive program has been a big factor for so many snowbirds when choosing a place to stay. Each week, the resort staff organizes more than 30 activities and events geared specifically to winter guests. Pelican Beach guests can choose from activities, such as watercolor classes, dance lessons, exercise/fitness classes, golf outings, tennis, card games, beach walks, and travel to regional casinos and special events, such as Mardi Gras. Winter activities are great ways for winter guests to meet and make new friends and feel right at home.

"Many of our winter renters come back year after year and request to stay in the same property since it has become a comfortable second home for some of them. We look forward every year to the annual 'snowbird' migration and welcome all of them with our version of Florida hospitality,” said Herb Profitt, General Manager of Pelican Beach Management, Inc, the resort's onsite rental management company. “Our guests know that they are getting a quality vacation rental at a great price along with outstanding amenities and activities. A majority of them rebook for the following year before they even finish their winter stay. For those people wishing to avoid the winter weather and come to Destin, we still have properties available!

The HOGs are returning to the Emerald Coast in 2011.

The Emerald Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau has won its bid to host the Florida State Harley-Davidson Owners Group rally for a second year.

“I’m not surprised at all,” said Shane Moody, president and CEO of the Destin Area Chamber of Commerce. “They want to be here … for the same reasons we all love living here.”

The HOG rally is scheduled for Oct. 19-23, 2011.

This year’s event, which was based in Destin where the Emerald Grande was the host hotel, drew more than 2,000 Harley-Davidson enthusiasts.

“It’s a positive sign,” Moody said of the rally’s return. “Destin is such a great resort town that when people come here, they want to come back.”

Vision Airlines is coming to Destin! (11/08/10)

Word leaked out prematurely last week, but now the news is official.

Vision Airlines will fly one of its B-737 airliners to Northwest Florida Regional Airport Wednesday morning to announce that they will soon offer service out of Okaloosa County’s airport. The program is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday and the public is invited to attend.

“I hope the community will come out for this exciting event and give Vision Airlines a strong initial welcome to our area,” said Greg Donovan, Okaloosa County’s airports director.

During the event, Vision Airlines personnel will be on hand to announce when they will start service out of Northwest Florida Regional Airport, what their destinations will be and what their projected costs will be, Donovan said.

The flights are expected to start before the Christmas holiday.

Vision Airlines was started in 1994 as primarily a charter service for hotels, casinos, professional teams and the government. The company is expanding into scheduled flights. It is based out of Suwanee, Ga., and now operates a fleet of Boeing 767s and 737s and Dornier 328 and 228 aircraft.

Vision Airlines’ impending arrival at Northwest Florida Regional Airport was announced at a Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce breakfast by the Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council last week before Vision Airlines and Donovan were ready to comment on the new venture. A map handed out at the breakfast listed Niagara Falls, Knoxville, Huntsville and other cities as potential destinations.

Vision recently announced service from Louisville to Atlanta.
