	While our hearts go out to those that are impacted by Debby, not all of Florida is affected.  Guests should not cancel vacation plans as the weather event is not having the same intensity of impact on the Destin area of Florida. The current forecast calls for beautiful weather the rest of the week with only a 20% chance of rain Tuesday and Wednesday with no chances of rain for the rest of the week and weekend. Currently, the Gulf waters are open at red flag - high hazard but beachgoers can enjoy the beach, take a walk on the white sandy beaches beckon sunbathers. Sandestin has more than a dozen pools as well. Expanded water opportunities abound at the Baytowne Marina.  The bay waters remain open as do the various activities offered.  Also, Sandestin's new floating water park, Adventure Bay, debuted at the Marina this May offering an evolution of water play and a "wipeout"-like experience. A destination like Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers guests a variety of vacation options such as biking, pools, dining, entertainment and shopping. The Village of Baytowne Wharf's weekly events such as the Wednesday Night Concert Series and Sunset Cinemas Thursdays remain unaffected View the beach and beach activity in realtime via the Web cam at: http://www.sandestin.com/ExploreSandestin/TheBeach/BeachWebCam.aspx?itc=gulf_bchcam
