Most people picture a beach vacation as a summer time activity. However, making a trip to the white, sandy shores of Destin, FL in the fall is about to be your new favorite get away. To help you make your decision, here are seven reasons you should visit this October.

1. Fewer Crowds

During the month of October, school is in full swing and not many people are making their way to the beach. Which means that it’s the perfect time for you to head down with your family and book your stay today.

2. Lower Prices

When you stay with Destin RV Resorts in October through February for a month-long trip, your rates will drop to $1800 per month. This is a huge deal, especially since you’ll be right across the street from the beach. 

3. Pleasant Weather

Autumn is the perfect time of year to visit the beach. The air is cooling down but not too chilly yet. It’s the perfect time to bring a book and read on the beach or go for a walk on the sand. However, the water is still warm enough to hit the waves.

4. Comfortable Water Temperatures

Some people might be surprised that the water still feels good this time of year. The average water temperature in October stays around 77 degrees, still maintaining some of the heat from the summer. 

5. Destin Seafood Festival

The Destin Seafood Festival is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year and happens during the first week of October. Enjoy some delicious seafood and all of the entertainment. You won’t want to miss this event.

6. Fishing in the Fall

Go deep-sea fishing with one of the many charter options in the area. There are many types of fish in the gulf and October is the perfect time to catch them. Enjoy the fishing, sunsets, and relaxing out on the water with an all-day experience.
