🏖️ Best Beaches

The standouts

Almost every beach here is beautiful, but a few stand out for different reasons. Here are the Emerald Coast beaches we keep coming back to.

⭐ The short list

• Grayton Beach. Consistently ranked among America's best, wide, wild, and stunning.
• Henderson Beach State Park. A pristine, protected stretch minutes from Destin.
• Topsail Hill. Rare dune lakes meet a gorgeous, uncrowded shore.
• Crystal Cove / Seagrove area. Classic 30A sugar-sand with that postcard look.
