Top 5 Reasons to Celebrate Mother's Day at the Beach in South Walton and Destin, Florida
Mom deserves a break, and now is the perfect time to show her love and appreciation. At Newman-Dailey, we specialize in celebrating family time. Our comfortable 30A, Miramar Beach, Crystal Beach and Destin vacation rentals provide the perfect home away from home to relax and reconnect with family. Our guests consistently tell us that their beach getaway provided their family with much-needed quality time together. If you're still not convinced a beach vacation is the best Mother's Day Gift for Mom, here are our top 5 reasons to whisk Mom away to the beach for Mother’s Day:
Remove Temptation to Work
If you celebrate Mom at home, she’ll feel compelled to continue with her usual chores—cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Sure, our vacation rentals have a laundry room with a washer and dryer, but she’ll enjoy the vacation mentality. By taking her on a Destin vacation, she’ll feel like she has permission to relax and enjoy the moment.
Fresh Gulf Seafood & Scenic Views
If you’re planning to take mom out to dinner, consider the joys of ordering fresh Gulf Seafood, which was caught and brought in off the docks that day. Gulf-front restaurants along the coast offer fresh seafood prepared a wide variety of ways. At Brotula’s Seafood House & Steamer seafood is prepared your way, including choice of seasoned boils or fresh catch blackened, seared or fried. In fact, diners can bring in their fresh catch to have it prepared by Brotula's Chefs. And with many of the South Walton and Destin restaurants offering stunning views of the Gulf and Destin Harbor, the view alone will make Mom feel relaxed and happy. If Mom prefers to stay in, Destin restaurants also offer take-out options, allowing you to bring the delectable offerings back home to dine alfresco or within your private vacation rental.
Shopping
While Mom can shop in her hometown, it’s so much more fun to shop at boutiques filled with one-of-a-kind treasures that nobody will have back at home. Or even better, take Mom to Silver Sands Premium Outlets where she’ll find designer merchandise for a fraction of the price. From art galleries to boutique shops to town centers, including Grand Boulevard at Sandestin and Destin Commons, there are tons of options for Mom to find the perfect gift for herself. Looking for a personalized, commemorative gift? Consider scheduling a class at artist Mary Hong's Shard Shop in Grayton Beach or Glass Deer in Santa Rosa Beach to make an original piece of art with Mom, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Sunsets
There is just something special about watching the sky turn into a colorful canvas as the sun sets into the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you’re enjoying this evening tradition from your balcony, the beach, or a local restaurant, sunset at the beach is a wonderful tradition that Mom will cherish.
The Beach
What better way to celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day than spending time relaxing on the beach? Whether she loves to sunbathe, read a book, build a sandcastle, play paddle ball, take long walks along the shore, or splash in the surf, she’ll love the quality time with her family along our sugar-white sand shores.
