Trip ideas while visiting Destin in Florida

Crab Island

Crab Island is not exactly an island but rather an underwater sandbar. Its pristine clear water and the allure of this place attract boaters and ocean enthusiasts from various parts of the region. Many people come here to unwind on their boats or mingle in the shallow waters. While it has a reputation for being a lively party spot, recent visitors have mentioned that Crab Island is also enjoyable for families. They emphasize that there is ample space for everyone to carve out their own little area in the water. One exciting option to explore the area is by taking a Crab Island Adventure Tour, which offers inflatable waterslides and other water toys, making it a delightful and family-friendly experience.

For the ultimate experience, previous visitors highly recommend bringing floats to enjoy in the water and timing your visit during high tide. To keep yourself refreshed, you have two options: bring coolers filled with food and drinks or take advantage of the floating vendors available at Crab Island. Please note that some vendors may only accept cash, so it’s a good idea to have some on hand. It’s important to remember that once you arrive at Crab Island, there won’t be any places to purchase alcoholic beverages, so it’s best to bring your own if you wish to enjoy them.
