Beach spots
There is a pay-for-entry as it is a state park, but is one of our favorite places to go for the day with bathroom access, shade for lunch time in the pavilion and spots to rinse off before leaving.

Public beach access right in the center of Destin. It is a small parking lot, so I would recommend going early but definitely worth it!
