This rewards the visitor with beautiful tropical weather the majority of days of the year except for the winter when it is wet for a few hours a day but very nice the other 20 hours of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular part of the state of Florida for vacations is the Atlantic (east) coast with the Gulf (west) coast being a close second. Because they are so popular, they are crowded and forget about dinner in a high end restaurant without reservations literally months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up until recently, a well kept secret was Florida\u2019s \u201cthird\u201d coast, also called the Emerald Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not that many years ago, price-conscious vacationers and condo owners looked to Florida\u2019s Emerald Coast for bargains in hotels, Airbnb\u2019s, condos and short waits for a table at great restaurants featuring local seafood and exotic cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, the word has gotten out to post-COVID travellers and things are not what they used to be on the Emerald Coast, but the situation is far better for tourists in Pensacola, Destin, Miramar Beach and Santa Rosa Beach than Daytona Beach, Miami, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, come with me on a tour of a few great Pinball and Arcade destinations in and around Destin, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Local Market<\/span><br><\/strong>950 Gulf Shores Drive, Destin, FL<br>850-460-8979<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.localmarketdestin.com\" target=\"_blank\">localmarketdestin.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The Local Market in Destin, FL\" class=\"wp-image-24490\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022-850x638.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/01-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Local Market in Destin, FL<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>All Star Baseball<\/em> (Valley-Dynamo and Gizmo Game Design, 2018)<\/li><li><em>Attack From Mars<\/em> (Remake LE &#8211; Chicago Gaming, 2017)<\/li><li><em>Godzilla<\/em> (Pro) (Stern, 2021)<\/li><li><em>Halloween<\/em> (CE) (Spooky, 2021)<\/li><li><em>JunkYard<\/em> (Williams, 1996) Broken<\/li><li><em>Jurassic Park<\/em> (Premium) (Stern, 2019)<\/li><li><em>Monster Bash<\/em> (Remake LE) (Chicago Gaming, 2018)<\/li><li><em>Popeye Saves the Earth<\/em> (Bally, 1994)<\/li><li><em>Star Wars<\/em> (Pro) (Stern, 2017)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Local Market is an excellent breakfast and lunch place featuring fruit smoothies, sandwiches, salads and other American comfort foods.

The Pimento Cheese sandwich was of course made famous at Augusta National Golf Club, Home of the Masters. The Local Market takes it one step further by grilling it in butter, with the attendant increase in calories and flavor. Their cold deli style sandwiches looked great and probably healthier as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"The sandwiches selection\" class=\"wp-image-24496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022-850x510.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/07-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The sandwiches selection<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"How about some all-day breakfast instead?\" class=\"wp-image-24495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022-850x638.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/06-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>How about some all-day breakfast instead?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a large selection of locally brewed small batch beers, wines and soft drinks available in both the dining room and the bar.

Honeybee Ice Cream\u2019s mascot is named Bee Havin and is actually an adult in a plush costume. Bee Havin is available for parties and sometimes makes appearances to interact with the children on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both inside and outside the beehive theme seems like it is everywhere with a &#8216;honeycomb&#8217; pattern neatly painted even on the light switch plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In spite of the fact that Honeybee Ice Cream has a number of other treats available, by far the most popular is ice cream. Their premium ice cream is made by the Cedar Crest company in the state of Wisconsin. They order their ice cream once a week and it is trucked to them on dry ice by FedEx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Samples of the ice cream treats available\" class=\"wp-image-24511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022-850x638.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/pinspotting-may-2022\/22-pinspotting-may-2022.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Samples of the ice cream treats available<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honeybee\u2019s most popular of the 32 flavors available is called <em>Superman<\/em> which, says owner Higgs, flies off the shelves; pun intended. \u201cThe kids and the adults both like that one,\u201d Higgs said. \u201cIt has a blue moon flavor, banana flavor and a strawberry flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honeybee has 17 flavors of hand rolled ice cream and a large number of toppings to go with them.

It has most of the amenities of the more well known Florida coasts, but without as many people visiting. That there are also good choices for the pinball player is a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How long this will be true is unknown because we saw quite a bit of development of both condos and resort properties that was in progress. More building means more people and, of course, more congestion and longer waits for a table at dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you can possibly arrange it, I\u2019d suggest that you visit Florida\u2019s Emerald Coast this year or next summer at the latest so that you can enjoy the same carefree and casual charm that we experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some other non-pinball locations to consider visiting on Florida\u2019s Emerald Coast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Miramar Beach<\/strong> &#8211; Scenic oceanside beach.
