Heavenly Seaside Escape at the Henderson Park Inn

Magical memories abound at the jewel by the sea, Henderson Park Inn. The cuisine is divinely delicious and the evening sunsets are spectacular. Destin's Henderson Park Inn located on Scenic Hwy 98 neighbors Henderson State Park and offers sweeping views of the turquoise waters of the Emerald Coast.


Henderson Park Inn's New England inspired architecture mirrors the quintessential style found at a coastal Atlantic Oceanfront bed and breakfast. Henderson Park Inn's original creators - Bill & Steve Abbott, Destin residents, were inspired by their magnificent memories of summers spent while growing up in Ogunquit, Maine, and working at their uncle's hotel, The Sparhawk Hotel - now known as The Sparhawk Oceanfront Resort.








Guests of Henderson Park Inn are whisked away into coastal charm and an atmosphere filled with southern hospitality. The ambience of the 37 room bed and breakfast on the Emerald Coast is perfectly situated away from the busy tourist hotspots. Rooms offer sweeping views from private balconies and porches of the Gulf of Mexico and the picturesque Henderson State Park and exude romance and pure relaxation. Welcome gifts of chocolate sweets and wine (non alcoholic options as well) greet guests along with unlimited Starbucks coffee, chilled drinks and snacks. The stage is set for a restful vacation and blissful days on the Emerald Coast.





Mornings begin with a delightful sweet and savory breakfast buffet including a lavish omelet buffet and homemade Belgian waffles. Rise and shine with a delicious beachside breakfast. Henderson Park Inn's Chef Greg grew up in Louisiana and when he was just a boy watched his mother, grandmother, and great grandmother prepare the most wonderful meals, from homemade gumbo to crawfish étouffée.






Henderson Park Inn's beachside lunch from the Catina offers refreshing and light options to enjoy seaside. Dine under beach tables by the Catina or enjoy beachside service under umbrella beach chairs. After enjoying a day basking in the sunshine seaside, take a bike ride on the cruiser bikes along Scenic Hwy 98. Relax under the shade at the Tiki Bar during daily happy hour with signature and frozen cocktails, house wine and beer as well as non-alcoholic libations and refreshing half & half tea.








Majestic Monarch and Gulf fritillary butterflies glide through the Florida panhandle in the early fall during their migration to Mexico. Enjoy watching the flight of beach butterflies and be serenaded by the sound of the soothing ocean waves while relaxing in beach chairs and swings at Henderson Park Inn. Flowers frame the beautiful bed & breakfast and serve as a haven for these delightful winged sojourners.





In the evenings, the award-winning, on-site Beach Walk Café offers spectacular cuisine with entrées from Apalachicola Blackened Shrimp Fettuccini, 8 ounce certified Black Angus filet, Grouper Vince, and nightly Chef's specials. Delectable desserts cap off a wonderful meal.

Henderson Park Inn offers mesmerizing nights by the sea! The vibrant sunsets and festive evenings on the property's deck and private candlelight dinners on the beach make for the most memorable vacations. As the evening closes with the sun setting over the beautifully placid waters of the Gulf, the moon crowns the evening sky to close out the day's perfect beach memories. Tranquility by the turquoise water awaits you at Henderson Park Inn. ~
