Crab Island

Crab Island isn’t an actual island – it’s a submerged sand bar next to the Destin Bridge. Because of its festive atmosphere and crystal-clear waters, Crab Island is a popular destination for boaters, tourists, and locals alike.

Crab Island in Destin is the perfect combination of sun, sand, and sparkling emerald waters! Once just a tiny island on the south side of Choctawhatchee Bay, the sandbar known as “Crab Island” is now one of the most popular things to do in Destin for boaters, tourists, and locals alike! Large enough for hundreds of boats, kayaks, and waverunners to anchor down and hang out, some of the area’s top events take place at the sandbar all spring and summer long!
