Things to Do with Dad for Fathers Day in Destin

Are you ready to “wow” Dad this Father’s Day? We’ve learned that he does not want another shirt, hat or wallet for Father’s Day. Word on the street is that what Dad really wants for Father’s Day is to spend time with the people he loves most—his family and friends! So we’ve compiled a list of our favorite things to do in Destin with Dad to inspire Father’s Day gift ideas to make his day.

Go Fishing

Destin is coined the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village for good reason. With one of the largest charter fishing fleets in the country, there are near shore and deep sea fishing opportunities that will impress even the most seasoned angler.

Go Boating

South Walton and Destin is surrounded by water. With the Gulf of Mexico to the South and the Choctawhatchee Bay to the north, there is an abundance of waterways to explore. No boat, no worries. There are several boat rental companies in Destin, including our partners Destin Vacation Boat Rentals and La Dolce Vita, who offer full day and partial-day boat rentals for dads who love to want to explore. 

Go Stand Up Paddling Boarding

Some dads prefer a nature-based water experience. For these men, we suggest a Stand Up Paddle Board rental. This is one of the most popular South Walton and Destin activities. Whether you’re paddling out in the Gulf to one of the new artificial reefs or paddling a calm coastal dune lake or tributary in the Bay, stand up paddle boarding is fun fitness that will help dad slow down and enjoy nature. 

Book an Electric Bike Tour or Rental

One of Newman-Dailey’s newest partners is Pedego 30A. Their electric bike rentals are becoming one of the most popular new activities in South Walton, allowing bikers to travel twice the distance they would on a traditional bike. These fun pedal assist bikes, tap into a battery pack to give you added speed and endurance. For Dads who like to be shown around, try one of their new Eventure Tours, that take participants on a “insider” tour of the area focusing on history, art, and cuisine.
