Memorial Day Crowds Put Destin on Track for Summer
Memorial Day weekend in Destin drew record crowds as campgrounds, motels, and shops filled to capacity. KOA Kampground reported turning away dozens of campers while Crystal Beach, Holiday Travel Park, and Sea Oats Motel saw high demand and many who could not find rooms found shelter with friends. Local businesses like Jewel Melvin's Restaurant and Green Knight reported their best weekend ever, signaling a strong start to 1983 tourism in the area.
