   Breakfast & coffee:Cafe Destin

   Afternoon:A beach picnic lunch. The Gulf does not check your macros.

   Lunch:Frutas Locas

   Evening:Pizza by the Sea at Gulf Place, where vegan cheese and plenty of veggie pies make it the most reliable full vegan dinner in Destin proper.

   Dinner:Rum Runners

   Insider Tip:Self-catered breakfast is the plant-based traveler's biggest win: cheap, fast, guaranteed.
