Located at the entrance of the Choctawhatchee Bay on the north side of the Destin Bridge, Crab Island attracts hundreds, if not thousands, of boaters every day. From snorkeling and fishing, to partying during Memorial Day weekend, Crab Island is the place to be when you visit Destin. While surely you will see your fair share of partying and drinking going on during your visit to Crab Island, there are more family-friendly locations around the sandbar where you can spend quality family time. Drop anchor on the outskirts of the sandbar and enjoy a day of fishing, snorkeling, rafting, or zipping down the inflatable slide. Crab Island also plays host to a number of vendors on boats that sell ice cream, boiled peanuts, and sandwiches. There is even an inflatable stage where live bands perform! Crab Island was recently featured on Good Morning America and received the title of one of America's Most Beautiful Places.
