Crab Island

Destin's Premier Social Sandbar

Crab Island is a waist-deep sandbar located at the entrance of Choctawhatchee Bay, right next to the Destin Bridge. Over the years, it has evolved into a premier destination for boaters and water enthusiasts looking to socialise, swim, and enjoy floating restaurants.

What to Expect

• Shallow Clear Waters: The water depth ranges from 1 to 4 feet, making it perfect for wading, floating, and playing.
• Floating Food & Ice Cream: Barges offer local snacks, boiled peanuts, ice cream, and non-alcoholic drinks.
• Tidal Shifts: The water is clearest and most stunning during high tide when clean saltwater flows in from the Gulf of Mexico.
