As their fortunes have risen during the Sun Belt era, these summer vacationers have escalated their tastes in accommodations. Weathered shacks on pilings have given way to luxurious high-rise condominiums. Yesterday's swamp is today's fairway. But when schools open, the Southerners load their children, dogs, fishing rods and golf bags into vans and 'vettes (whose bumper stickers advertise such proclivities as ''I'm a War Eagle Mom,'' ''Trinity Bible Class'' and ''God, Guns and Guts: Let's Keep All Three Alive'') and head home for [RACHEL JACKSON], Montgomery, Shreveport and other inland sanctuaries. During the fall, although temperatures hover in the 80's and skies are at their bluest (unless a hurricane is brewing), panhandle beaches, condos and golf courses are mostly empty except on weekends. Around the first of November, staid, post-middle-age couples in four-door Oldsmobiles and Buicks make their appearances along these beaches, their flat, crisp accents contrasting sharply with the drawls of locals who operate gas stations and grocery stores, their sentiments also on public display (''Ottawa Athletic Club,'' ''Sexy Senior Citizen,'' ''Minnesota Gophers,'' ''We're Spending Our Children's Inheritance''). Major beach resorts in the Destin area are Sandestin, with golf and tennis (Highway 98 East, Destin, Fla. 32541; 800-874-3950); Tops'l, tennis (5550 Highway 98 East, Destin, 32541; 800-874-0464); Seascape, golf and tennis (4725 Highway 98 East, Destin, Fla. 32541; 800-874-9141), and Hidden Dunes, tennis (Highway 98 East, Destin, Fla. 32541; 800-824-6335). Eating Out At Destin, try breakfast overlooking the Gulf (including grits) at June's Dunes; lunch and dinner (West Indies salad, King Neptune salad, fresh fish, Key lime pie) at Captain Jewel Melvin's or Harbor Docks, or a steamed bucket of seafood at Bayou Bill's east of Destin. Golf Indian Bayou Golf and Country Club at Destin is open to the public daily and offers short-term memberships. Bluewater Bay, a resort and retirement community at Niceville near Fort Walton Beach, has a challenging course. Other courses open to the public include Rocky Bayou near Niceville and Lake Lorraine in Shalimar. Weather During a month's stay last December, I counted 14 fully or partly sunny days, 4 totally rainy days, 9 overcast days with some rain and 4 days of mixed weather. Temperatures ranged from the mid-50's to the high 60's, averaging about 6 to 10 degrees lower than those in the Tampa Bay area. Because the panhandle is prey to fronts that sweep from west to east, a day that begins with sun may end in rain or a dark morning may precede a glorious sunset. V. V. d. V. H.
