Looking to book a couple of condos this summer and we're debating between Destin and Gulf Shores. I've been to Destin and loved it but what are the thoughts on Gulf Shores? Going to be 15 of us including kids so need to have kids stuff as well.

I'd do Fort Walton Beach (Okaloosa Island) over Destin. Only 5 miles west of Destin, same beach but much less crowded and IMHO much more family friendly and lower cost. And you are only 10 minutes from all of the commercial buildup in Destin if you want to do go karts or whatever for the kids.
So 30A is a thing other than the beer?! I had that in Destin last year and saw stickers on cars all over the place there (and some in Houston) and wondered why people had stickers of a mediocre beer on their cars.blindey said:

What's the stigma with"30A"? We have a 4 and 2 year old and thought about doing someplace like Gulf Shores NEXT summer when they are 3 and 5. Is there something I should be aware of?
We are trying to shorten the trip as much as possible with young kids in the car, that is why we were thinking Gulf Shores over Destin...
No stigma at all. LOVE 30A. Just usually find it a bit more upmarket than Destin or other locations.jpb1999 said:
