Crab Island
If you have ever visited Destin then you have probably heard of the popular attraction, Crab Island. It is guaranteed fun for the whole family! Rent a pontoon boat and cruise out to this spot in the Choctawhatchee Bay. Anchor up and enjoy a day in the sun. Pro Tip: bring a couple of floaties to tie to the boat. This way your kids can cool off in the water and stay close to the boat.
Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding became one of the local’s favorite ways to enjoy the water and we have seen the trend take off! Paddleboarding is great to do off the beach and you will find multiple different ways to rent paddleboards. We highly recommend contacting our partner, La Dolce Vita, for all your beach rental needs!
