Watersports in the Florida Panhandle
What you need to know before you go

Everywhere you go in The Florida Panhandle, the emerald green waters of the Gulf scream at you to jump in and get wet. And there are plenty of watersport outfitters that can help you do just that in just about every town along the coast.

The beaches around Destin are perhaps the most beautiful - with their powder white sand contrasting against crystal clear green/blue water you'd expect to find somewhere in the Caribbean. But you won't be disappointed with the quality of beaches anywhere along the Panhandle coast.

All of the standard Florida beach activities can be found in the Panhandle - from surfing and kiteboarding to parasailing. Due to the relatively calm waters in the gulf, jet ski rentals is an extremely popular choice for getting wet here, with both jet-skis and waverrunners available for rent all along the coast. Panama City Beach is particularly renown for its wild dolphin population, and a great way to get up close to these intelligent creatures is to join a guided Waverunner Tour.

The Florida Panhandle is a great place for diving as well, thanks to natural reefs that are available a few miles offshore and an abundance of wrecks and man-made reefs - which are teeming with sea life, including small corals and colorful sponges.
