From emerald-green waters and floating sandbars to boats, paddleboards, music, and long afternoons spent on the water, Crab Island offers a distinctly Florida experience just off the coast of Destin. There’s no single “right” way to experience Crab Island, which is why every Featured Traveler brings a different perspective. Some travelers come for the laid-back atmosphere, while others make a day of swimming, boating, and exploring the surrounding waters. Their experiences give future visitors a better sense of what to expect—and what might make Crab Island their kind of place.
