Destin and Miramar Beach are known for their sunshine and sugar-white sand, but every now and then, a rainy day rolls in. Don’t worry—there’s no need to let a little rain dampen your vacation spirit. The Emerald Coast offers plenty of indoor fun for all ages. Whether you're looking for high-energy games, immersive entertainment, or a cozy afternoon indoors, here are our top five indoor activities to turn any rainy day into a memorable part of your stay.
Step into the vibrant world of Fat Daddy's Arcade, where over 120 arcade games await players of all ages. From timeless classics to the latest in interactive gaming, the arcade offers a plethora of opportunities to win points and exchange them for fantastic prizes, ranging from sweet treats to cutting-edge game consoles. It's a place where family memories are made, filled with laughter and friendly competition.
Ready for something totally unique? Head to Uncle Buck’s Fish Bowl and Grill, where dining and bowling combine in an immersive undersea setting. Hand-painted murals, sunken ship decor, and custom sea-creature bowling balls create an oceanic atmosphere the whole family will love. Grab a delicious meal, then hit the lanes for some friendly competition—rain never stood a chance.
Another fantastic option for bowling and more, Hurricane Lanes in Destin offers 26 lanes, pool tables, ping pong, and even a lively sports bar. On weekend nights, don’t miss “Hurricane Bowl”—a glowing blacklight bowling experience that lights up the lanes and amps up the fun. It’s a great way to stay active and social, even when the weather keeps you indoors.
For a more relaxed pace, catch a movie at AMC Destin Commons 14. With plush seating and ample legroom, it's the perfect place to unwind and escape into another world. Whether you're in the mood for a blockbuster hit or an animated family film, you’ll find something to please everyone. Pro tip: matinee showings offer fewer crowds and early entertainment to kick off your rainy day right.
Sometimes the best memories are made right at “home.” Your Miramar Beach vacation rental offers a warm, cozy space to slow down and reconnect. Break out the board games, whip up comfort food in the full kitchen, or settle in for a movie marathon with ocean sounds in the background. Covered balconies, spacious living areas, and coastal charm set the stage for meaningful moments, rain or shine.
Even when the skies are gray, your Destin or Miramar Beach vacation can still be filled with joy, laughter, and connection. With indoor activities that spark imagination and togetherness—and the relaxing luxury of your vacation rental—every day offers something special.
