The lady at the gate was so kind. Thank you for your kindness and care for service members. My family and I loved our time here! Red flag day was a bummer but the beach was still clean and beautiful.

A great beach! Multiple pavilions and restrooms available at each. The restrooms were very clean and the facilities in general are well kept. Paid entry but worth it.

The $6.00 price tag is well worth being able to enter and exit all day. I was a little disappointed that they weren't open at sunrise but came back after lunch and will be back again for the sunset. It's surprisingly shallow down around pavilion C but once you get past the first few sandbars it definitely gets deeper. The white sand is pristine and beautiful and the water crystal clear. A perfect representation of the Emerald Coast. The bathrooms are fully functioning and there are plenty of outdoor rinse spots to peruse.

Beautiful beach. I feel so fortunate to live in paradise. It never gets old. The lovely folks at the entrance gate are always incredibly kind and welcoming. There are many parking options, pavilions with tables, and bathrooms. The beach is always immaculate. Destin takes pride in its beautiful beaches and it shows ☀️🏝️🤩

Disclaimer: I grew up near a Texas beach on the Gulf Coast and still live close to it. Leave Fido home. No dogs allowed - what a stroke of genius. The beach felt wonderfully serene and undisturbed. The beach itself was pristine, with soft, powdery sand that felt amazing underfoot. The covered picnic area was a perfect spot to sit back, relax, and take in the surroundings. And the restrooms? Immaculate. I was also impressed by the thoughtful touches, like the station where you could refill your water bottles. It was clear they’d put a lot of care into making sure visitors had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. They really do it right.
