10 things to do on a Staycation at Sandestin

One could say the locals of the Emerald Coast are a little bit spoiled. Wonderful weather, plenty of activities and white sandy beaches with clear emerald water - why would you travel far and wide when you live close to one of the best places in the country?! 

We know, you want to go on a vacation! So that's why locals should experience a luxurious Staycation at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort where once you're inside the gates of the resort, you don't even need your keys anymore!

You might be thinking, "No need to grab my keys? No way!" But it's really possible. Between the shopping, restaurants, live music, and kids activities plus the beach, golf courses, Sandestin Spa and Fitness Center all accessible via the tram, those keys can stay where they belong, in your pocket! Why should you go on a Staycation on the Emerald Coast instead of a vacation somewhere else? We have GREAT 10 reasons...
