Spending your Holiday on the coast and looking for activities? This Twin Isle Vacations’ guide will provide you with tons of ways to spend your Thanksgiving season in Destin!
Feast
Cooking and dining out are both fantastic options for Thanksgiving at the beach. Gorgeous fall weather, beautiful scenery, and delicious eats are pretty standard for Destin this time of year.
If you enjoy eating from home and aren’t feeling up to all the preparation necessary for a full Thanksgiving meal, you will be excited about Hebert’s which is in walking distance from Sandpiper Cove. While their specialty is meat (including turkey!), you can find a large variety of delicious sides to build the ultimate holiday dinner. While they aren’t open on Thanskgiving, they are open until 7 o’clock on November 21st so you can pre-order and swing by to satisfy all of your Thanksgiving meal needs! P.S. – Hebert’s also ships.
2). Cuvee Kitchen
If you are one that prefers a day or night on the town, the following restaurants might be perfect for you and your loved ones! Fancy a fanciful Thanksgiving dinner? Cuvee Kitchen + Wine Bar‘s Thanksgiving buffet features dishes such as herb crusted pork tenderloin, fried turkey, and oyster stuffing among other holiday staples.
3). Brotula’s
A second Thanksgiving buffet option featuring Cajun fried turkey, shrimp & grits, and 
cornbread stuffing WITH A VIEW of the Destin Harbor. It’s also a great spot to watch games on Saturday and Sunday. Both restaurants are delicious choices and include many of the Thanksgiving Day staples you know and love.

chance to view some top notch schools kick off their basketball season; Niceville’s annual Emerald Coast Classic will be held November 23 & 24th, and if you’re in the area, you’ll definitely want to check it out! You can view the schedules here.
