Choose to make a difference!

Every dollar spent locally strengthens our community and supports the dreams of entrepreneurs, artists, movers, shakers, and tastemakers. We personally know that when you buy at local businesses, the shop owners are rejoicing, smiling, and jumping for joy behind the scenes!

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy LOCAL, and that’s kind of the same thing.

As Christmas Day draws near, please remember to support our local entrepreneurs and restauranteurs.

Our talented, beloved small business owners in Destin and along 30A have been hard at work curating incredible selections for your holiday shopping endeavors! AND, many will gift wrap! (FREE!) One purchase (big or small) means the world. Shopping small can make a BIG difference! For every dollar you spend at a local business, 80 cents stays in our community.

Stop in, say hello, start checking off your list, and tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

Be sure to check out our Scouted Gift Guides for our top gift picks of 2025.

Special thanks to our friens at The Scout Guide Houston for the fun curated photo shoot with our Guide

SANTA! See Santa Claus at the Henderson Beach Resort this year!

Dates: December 6,12,13,14,19, and 20th.

The elves created a whimsical winter wonderland in the grand lobby, complete with a box to drop off Letters to Santa and Santa’s sleigh.

PRO TIP: Stay for lunch at Horizons or dinner at Primrose and order the Gulf Grouper. Watch the sunset from the terrace after dinner and Snuggle by the outdoor fire pit!
Tell Santa The Scout Guide sent you (and that we’ve been good girls!) !
