Destin is a beautiful place and the locals are a mix of southerners and military. There is a large minority population; however, not as much as in FWB air PBC. The tourism industry brings a large number of visitors from the Gulf and Southern states. You will not find nicer beaches anywhere in the world!

Ive been in the Fort Walton Beach, Destin area for 22 years.Ive never had a problem and Im black.You may have a few isolated incidents of shootings in Ft.Walton once in a blue moon but,its pretty safe.If your not part of the bad company.you're good.Destin is Safer.Its a tourist town.Alot of rich people.Again,never even come close to having any problem.To the previous review,if you think crime is high in Ft.Walton,you need to visit Shreveport,Louisiana.You'll find REAL crime in Louisiana.Only problem with Ft.Walton is the job market.They are getting better but,still kinda thin.You can find one though.In this area,Destin is where the jobs are.

To make the comment that "crime is high," in a certain area, and then single out a certain ethnicity is not only racist, but it displays your level of ignorance.
