    Default Swim with Dolphins near Destin, FL area??

    In doing some research for Destin, FL, I found a marine place
    fairly close to Destin where you can swim with dolphins. Even
    do week-long camps there.

    Now, I can't find the link.

    Does this sound familiar to anyone?


    Thank you!!!

    Are you thinking of Dolphin Research Center in Marathon?

    http://www.dolphins.org/

    We were there last February.

    I'm not sure about in Destin (I think I have only seen dolphin cruises there) but the Marine Park in Panama City has some sort of program. I have never been to it but looking at it we just may have to take a weekend trek there...it looks like a lot of fun! PC is about an hour, depending on what end of Destin you stay on and traffic. If I am remembering where I have seen the signs, i think this park is before you really get into PC.

    We love Destin area and only live about 1.5 hours from there and are there all the time in summer. The beaches are beautiful and perfect!

    Thanks for asking op! I would have never thought to look for something like this.

    the camps looks neat! We will have to remember this when DD is old enough-she would love it. Maybe a good Christmas present for my nieces and nephews too.
