The low temperature in winter is 42 degrees, and the summer high is near 90. Destin scores 75 on the Sperling Comfort Index, which is attractive to seniors, especially those with painful joints.
  • The Destin cost of living of 128.9 is 30 percent higher than the U.S. average of 100. Since seniors may require more frequent or continuous health care, it's important to note that those costs in Destin are congruent with the national average.
