Destin Shop Spot: The Destin Commons

“The Commons” is a perfect name for this Destin shop spot, because regardless of age, gender, or any other factoid about yourself, you will have something in common with The Commons. (Okay so that’s not really what “commons” means but well... wait and see... it just might.) There is virtually something for everyone at this open air mall.

If you like to shop for clothing and accessories for all styles and ages there are roughly 40 different shops to suit you. From classic Lillie Rubin and Ann Taylor Loft to trendy Frock Candy, you won’t be disappointed. However, say you don’t like to shop for clothes and accessories... what about fishing and hunting accessories? Aha! There is a huge Bass Pro Shop adjacent to The Commons. Finally men aren’t obliged to just sit on a bench and wait! And good news mom, they can take the kids to see the giant fish tank inside while you shop.

Wait, you don’t hunt or fish? Rave motion pictures is smack in the middle of The Commons. Rave features stadium seating, state of the art sound systems and buttery popcorn. What? You don’t like going to the movies? There are 12 different restaurants on site to fill all your taste buds’ needs. Now if you don’t like to eat... well... you can always run through the dancing fountains with all the kids at The Commons because you’ve got to be CRAZY!

It’s even nice just to walk around and enjoy the beautiful palm trees and music in the air. There are even open air concerts showcasing a variety of artists. And there’s Build A Bear. Or a duck or cat or any other animal you like.

There really is something for everyone at The Destin Commons. So come enjoy the ocean breeze, have a glass of wine, and you’re sure to find common ground.
