Below you will find hours, parking, food and the local shops worth finding at each one. National chains make up most of the store lists at the two big centers, so we point you to the independent shops inside and nearby.

Silver Sands Premium Outlets (Miramar Beach)
Silver Sands sits at 10562 Emerald Coast Parkway West in Miramar Beach, about midway between Destin and Sandestin. Simon runs it as part of its Premium Outlets group, and it calls itself Northwest Florida’s ultimate outlet destination, with more than 100 stores.
Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For the 2026 holidays, the center is closed on Thanksgiving (November 26) and open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Black Friday (November 27). Check the center’s site for December hours.
What you will find: This is a national-brand outlet center. Expect factory stores for athletic, denim, handbag and kitchen brands (Nike, Columbia, Coach, Kate Spade and Le Creuset are all part of the mix). It is the place to replace the swimsuit you forgot or stock up on back-to-school basics.
Getting around: The center has covered walkways, which help in summer sun or a passing shower, plus a kids’ play area, free Wi-Fi, restrooms and a ride-share pickup zone.
Where to eat: Food at the center is mostly quick bites and chain restaurants. For a locally owned meal, drive a few minutes east to Grand Boulevard and sit down at Vin’tij Food & Wine, a wine bar and restaurant with a wine shop and an afternoon happy hour. Grand Boulevard also has its own boutiques and a Saturday farmers market. Our Miramar Beach and Sandestin guide covers that side of town.
Destin Commons
Destin Commons is at 4100 Legendary Drive, just off US 98 along the Commons Drive corridor. It opened in 2003 and is laid out like a small downtown, with landscaped streets, murals, a lawn and a splash pad for kids. The center lists more than 80 stores, restaurants and family attractions.
Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Restaurant and theater hours vary.
Parking: Free.
What you will find: Most of the stores are national names. The big draws are Bass Pro Shops, Belk, Sephora, an AMC theater with 14 screens and a Whole Foods Market. The local reason to come is Innerlight Surf Shop at 4124 Legendary Drive. Pro surfer Yancy Spencer III founded Innerlight in Gulf Breeze in 1969, and the family still runs it. The Destin store sells surfboards, surf gear and apparel for men, women and kids, and the staff surf.
Where to eat: City Food Hall is the best bet for a group that cannot agree. It brings together several local food vendors under one roof, with a bar. Families also like The Lawn and the Sunflower Umbrella Sky for photos.
Events: The center hosts seasonal events through the year. As of November 2026, its calendar lists a farmers market on Saturday, November 21, and the annual Santa’s Arrival and tree lighting. See our Christmas events guide for holiday dates.
The Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation is also on the Commons Drive corridor if you want to pair shopping with an outdoor concert.
HarborWalk Village
HarborWalk Village sits on the Destin Harbor along Harbor Boulevard. It is a boardwalk of shops, restaurants and bars beside the working charter fleet. You come here as much for the boats and the sunset as for the shopping.
Local shops:
- Aloha Surf Company has been at HarborWalk since 2008. It is owned and staffed by surfers and carries swimwear, board shorts, sandals and paddleboard and kayak gear.
- Sunset Lifestyles is a casual clothing and swimwear shop from Sunset Shoes & Lifestyles, a Panhandle retailer known for comfortable footwear. Look for sun hats, cover-ups and beach bags.
- Bleu Tropics is a kiosk in Pirates Alley where owner Ann Bauman makes much of the shell, starfish and shark’s tooth jewelry herself. She also sells hand-painted beach signs and takes custom orders.
Where to eat: Harry T’s Lighthouse has been at the mouth of the harbor since 1987. It is known for Gulf seafood, harbor views and a daily brunch. For seafood to cook at your rental, Destin Ice Seafood Market & Deli has sold fresh Gulf fish on Harbor Boulevard since 1984. See more picks in our Destin waterfront restaurants guide.
Get on the water: The Southern Star Dolphin Cruise leaves from HarborWalk, so you can shop before or after.
Parking: HarborWalk uses paid parking on the property. You pay by phone with your license plate (no app download needed), and stays of 30 minutes or less do not need to pay. Harry T’s posts that it validates parking during the off-season (as of November 2026). On event days, city-owned lots across the street are the backup.
Coming up: HarborWalk hosts Blues, Brews & BBQ on Saturday, November 14, 2026, so expect the lots to fill early that day.
