I've vacationed at both Destin and Golf Shores. They were both nice, but IMO Destin has much clearer water. If you want close fun snorkeling, go to the Jetties in Destin. Lots of stuff to see there and not out in the "Big Gulf" with the "Big Fish". Lots of people swim around there. Take frozen peas and an underwater camera for some awesome pics!

Yes there are shark there... Obviously most everyone has heard the sad shark happenings lately. I can tell you every time I have parasailed at Destin, I see shark! The first one I ever saw looked like a small jet in the water! I have also swam near baby black tip shark. They are out there. Just use your head and enjoy the beauty that is there.
