🦀 Crab Island

🦀 What is Crab Island?

Crab Island is a famous shallow-water sandbar in the Choctawhatchee Bay near Destin and Fort Walton Beach — and it's only reachable by boat. On any sunny day it becomes a floating party town: boats raft up on the sandbar, with floating food vendors, music, and crystal-clear shallows that kids love. It's one of the most-loved spots on the Emerald Coast for a boat day.

Getting there means a boat — pontoons, Jet Skis, or a guided tour. See the best-rated options below.
