Weather

So, how beautiful is the weather in Destin, Florida? You will find that Destin and Ft. Walton Beach enjoy a subtropical climate with mild southern breezes. Typically, this area has little cloudiness, low rainfall, and high temperatures.

The “Sunshine State” is an apt nickname because of the 300+ days the sun shines on Florida each year. There is plenty of opportunity for sunbathing with high temperatures in the summer from 80 to 91 degrees.

From Panama City west to Pensacola, there are excellent and dazzling white beaches. The gentle slope of the beaches along the Emerald Coast shoreline has made them a major recreational asset.

The winter highs range from 50 to 75 degrees. The mild winter weather is perfect for year round outdoor activities including walks along the beaches, nature sightseeing, golfing, fishing and shopping.

Rainfall averages between 50 and 60 days per year, so few days are without sunshine.
