Pelican Beach
Drop anchor off Pelican Beach Resort on Florida's Emerald Coast in Destin, where the crystal-clear green water and white sand shoreline are the real draw. You'll find a lively Tiki Bar and Café just steps from the beach, plus resort amenities like pools and hot tubs within easy reach once you come ashore. It's a popular stretch of the Gulf Coast, so expect company—but the scenery makes it worth it.
