Destin does experience rain from time to time, but that shouldn’t dampen your vacation plans! Here are three of our favorite things to do in Destin Florida when it rains:

1. Hit the Shopping Outlets

What many people don’t realize is that Destin has some great shopping opportunities for you to explore on a rainy day. The two best shopping outlets in Destin are located right near the Henderson Park Inn. Both Destin Commons and Silver Sands Premium Outlets will provide you with lots of great things to do in Destin Florida when it rains. Whether you want to visit Columbia Sportswear or Coach, there is a little bit of everything at these locations. Also, when you work up an appetite shopping, these locations feature great restaurants that will provide you with a delicious meal on your rainy day.

2. Destin History and Fishing Museum

It is always great to learn about the history of the place you are visiting. You can do just that at the Destin History and Fishing Museum. The Destin History and Fishing Museum will give you an idea of what life was like in Destin almost a hundred years ago. There are vintage photographs of early Destin settlers, boat captains and their boats, beach scenes, and local businesses that will take you back in time. The museum also features the oldest seine fishing boat still in existence, a large collection of antique fishing rods and reels, and displays of fish that were caught in the Gulf of Mexico in and around Destin. You will get to take in some fascinating Emerald Coast history during your visit to the museum, making it one of the best things to do in Destin Florida when it rains.

3. Enjoy a Day Relaxing in Your Hotel Suite

The whole reason you go on vacation is to relax and get away from your busy day-to-day life. Rainy weather is a great excuse to just take it easy at our hotel with your sweetheart. The Henderson Park Inn was built with your comfort in mind. For the ultimate relaxation, choose one of our rooms with a fireplace and whirlpool tub. Take a nice long soak in the whirlpool tub and let go of any stress that you may have. After your long relaxing bath, hop out and enjoy the cozy warmth of your fireplace. Trust us, spending some time in your suite is one of the best things to do in Destin Florida when it rains.

When you spend a rainy day at the Henderson Park Inn, you won’t have to worry about calling out for food. Your breakfast, lunch, and happy hour are a complementary part of your stay at our hotel. For dinner, you can enjoy one of the delicious meals at the Beach Walk Cafe, our award winning onsite restaurant.
