Welcome to Fort Benning’s premier vacation destination, the Destin Army Recreation Area, on the emerald beaches of Destin, Florida. Destin, the "World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” was voted the Best Beach in America in 2009 by Southern Living Magazine. It has also been named Best Family Destination, Best City, Best Weekend Getaway Destination and one of the hottest kayaking spots in Florida.
Located just 220 miles south of Fort Benning, Georgia, the Destin Army Recreation area includes 46 RV sites, 34 hotel rooms, 20 studios, 14 apartments, 13 two-bedroom villas, and five three-bedroom villas sprawled across 15 acres of pristine shoreline along the Choctawhatchee Bay, just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.
