July 2026 Newsletter – Florida’s Emerald Coast
July has it all: sunshine, fireworks, beach days, and unforgettable memories. Summer is in full swing along Florida’s Emerald Coast, and there’s no better time to plan your escape. America’s 250th birthday brings extra excitement to Destin, Miramar Beach, Sandestin, and 30A with patriotic celebrations, waterfront concerts, family festivals, and spectacular fireworks lighting up the Gulf Coast.
Spend your days soaking up the sun on sugar-white beaches, exploring charming coastal towns, and unwinding by the water. As the sun goes down, the celebration begins with live music, outdoor entertainment, and festive events happening throughout the month.
