Vacation experts (Destin or San Destin?)

I went to New Grayton/Seaside for the Gustav evacuation. I will never go to Destin again after that. Grayton Beach/Seaside is definitely the way to go. Much, much nicer, more secluded, less touristy. Only bad thing is that means more $$$!

There is a record shop in Seaside that my oldest and i love to visit - found some good, old records and tee shirts.
