Beaches
This is the closest public beach and my favorite. It is in Crystal Beach in Destin. It has a long board walk, shaded pavilions, public restrooms and outdoor showers to rinse off sand. It has a big parking lot and also has the popular Crab Trap restaurant on the boardwalk along with a beach front bar.
