The Back Porch, Destin Florida
Come with us as we explore the famous Back Porch restaurant located in Destin, Florida! According to the Back Porch website, the restaurant has been around since the early 1970's when they became a locals favorite serving up the fresh daily catch. Although it appears the original building is no longer there, its architecture is clearly present in the new building.
Some interesting facts about the Back Porch restaurant include their claim to have invented the Amberjack Sandwich as well as the local resident cats, K.C. the Tuna Taster and Little Fluff the Amberjack Aficionado. A special side note about these cats... these cats are residents of the premises, however consider yourself lucky if you see them as they are not inside the building but rather living under and around it. No need to worry about allergies.
The view of the gulf from the Back Porch is spectacular. The restaurant is raised giving customers an enhanced view of the gulf. In our experience, we were seated on the top floor which was the equivalent of the 3rd story. This elevated view gives the restaurant an edge up for atmosphere and ambiance compared to other gulf view eateries. Keep in mind, gulf view seating is not guaranteed and to increase your odds of getting the best seats arrive early!
The food is slightly above average for a vacation style restaurant. The fish was obviously very fresh, however the grilled Amberjack had a slightly week old grill grate burnt taste which I attributed to the chef wanting to create aesthetically pleasing grill marks on the fish. Also, we try to maintain a healthy life style and in doing so I decided to sub my fries for a side salad which I was told would come with a slight up charge. They removed the fries but charged me the entire price of the salad! I didn't catch this until we left or I other wise would have disputed it.
The restaurant morphs into a total beach experience when you walk though the back door and step on to the sugary white sand. You will be greeted by picnic tables and a walk up bar where you will find moderately priced drinks.
The restaurant does not offer military, local, or first responder discounts during what they consider vacation season. They do offer discounts during the off-season.
Here are our scores for the restaurant. We have divided the scoring into 3 categories. Food, Service and Overall Experience giving the restaurant a possible total of 90 points.
FOOD: TOTAL 22 OUT OF 30 POINTS
Coleton: 8
Mom: 7
Dad: 7
SERVICE: TOTAL 26 OUT OF 30 POINTS
Coleton: 9
Mom: 9
Dad: 8
OVERALL EXPERIENCE: TOTAL 28 OUT OF 30 POINTS
Coleton: 10
Mom: 9
Dad: 9
TOTAL SCORE 76 OUT OF 90 POINTS. In high school The Back Porch would have received an 84%. Not bad. Definitely recommended.

January Road Trip - Henderson Beach State Park Destin Florida | ZEPHYR TRAVELS - RV Lifestyle
In this video we continual our January Road trip to Destin Florida and stay at Henderson Beach State Park. We take a drive to Pensacola to tour the downtown area and Palafox Pier. And we check out Elglin Air Force Base and the Air Force Armament Museum.
We really enjoyed Henderson State Park, it is one of the nicest campgrounds we stayed at (in Randy top 5). You are right next to the Gulf of Mexico with easy access to the beach and just outside of the park you have quick access to all the restaurants, entertainment and shopping in the Destin area.
About an hour drive west along the costal highway we ended up in Pensacola. We did not plan our visit to this Costal City but enjoyed a walk along it's main street window shopping it's many stores and restaurants. We ended our walk at Palafox Pier where the bird entertained us as we enjoyed the Gulf views.
Our nephew suggested we visit Elglin Air Force Base Armament Museum. It is a great place to lear the history of the base and Air Force. Elglin AFB is the largest AFB in the country and has a vast history going back to before WW2. A great way to spend the afternoon while visiting Destin Beach.

Harry T's, Harbor Walk Village and the Destin Boat Parade!
What an amazing day to visit Harry T's Lighthouse in Destin and watch the Destin Boat Parade!
Harry T's is always fun to visit! Great food, amazing views and really cool history! Harry T's Lighthouse is a restaurant that commemorates the life of Harrison Thomas Babe, (Harry T for short) who opened a commercial boat house in the early 1920s that served as a hang, out for the locals. That boathouse is long gone but what remains are the celebration of his memories at the modern Harry T's boathouse located at Harbor Walk Village.
The Destin Boat Parade is very popular so we decided to arrive early to ensure we got a good parking area and spot at the restaurant. This allowed us ample time to explore Harbor, Walk Village and take advantage of the amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico it offers. We managed to make it atop the presidential level at the Emerald Grand where we were able to catch some awesome video of the water!
While watching the video you might notice the sound of construction crews. These guys are putting in the and extremely important barrier to help preserve the small peninsula of sand you can see which separates the east pass and Destin harbor known as Noriega Point. Massive amounts of that have eroded away in the last few years and these guys are doing their best to protect what's left.
During this video I decided not to put times down like we do in our normal videos because I thought it just wasn’t fair. As I mentioned the boat parade is very popular and the restaurant was super crowded this day and we were warned by the friendly staff ahead of time they were running a bit behind. We were totally fine with that as we were waiting on the parade to start anyway.
If you are ever in Destin we highly recommend checking out Harbor Walk Village and Harry T's. Do your best to get a Harry T's key chain and you will be among a small group of people who enjoy special prices and VIP seating.
Below are recommended websites to check out. Also, be sure to watch the AJs video we mention several times during the video! (link below)

Destin to Daytona
I had the chance to help a friend move a 90' Hatteras Sport Fishing boat from Destin, Fl. to Daytona Beach, Fl. in February 2015. On this 700 mile journey we went through the Lake Okeechobee lock system. You start out around Cape Coral and take the Caloosahatchee River to the lake and once through the lake you pick up at the St. Lucie Canal which turns into the St. Lucie River and comes out at Stuart. We decided to take the Intracoastal Waterway the rest of the way up due to 8-12' seas in the Atlantic. Our final destination was the Chart House Marina in Daytona Beach, Fl. where I finally got to fly the drone. Bad weather and gusty winds hampered my flying abilities.
