MARY ESTHER. Bright and open, this mall is only minutes from Fort Walton Beach and offers one-stop shopping. It looks small from the outside, but once you're in, you'll discover a wealth of diversions. A large food court is easy to get in and out of and has plenty of seating. Just beyond it is a carousel that's a perfect distraction for fidgety children. Benches are located along the main corridors, providing a resting place for weary spouses, and the whole place is punctuated by potted greenery. Prominent stores include Dillard's, Sears, JCPenney, Old Navy, Gap, Victoria's Secret and Radio Shack.

SEASIDE. This planned community is a bit of a drive from Destin, but it has some fantastic shops to look through. Most of them are located along the beach, but you'll also find good ones in the downtown area, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away. An open-air market displays goods in the open breezes and sunlight, and other shops sell clothing, artwork, home accessories, toys, games and books. Restaurants and cafes also share the space and are a convenient place to pick up delicious snacks, beverages and entrees. Hour in-season are from 10am to 9pm but in the off-season most stores close at 6pm.
Our shopping categories guide you to the best places to find souvenirs and mementoes of a perfect trip. Where do you find a book on local history? How about a recording of that terrific zydeco band you heard? Maybe a trinket for the kids or spouse? Use our lists to narrow your search.
