Winter Time Experience

In the Winter, we still have beautiful water and lots of sunshine without the summer heat Although Crab Island is closed from November through February, boating still offers plenty of enjoyment. Popular activities during this time of year are relaxing cruises around the Destin Harbor and Choctawahatchie Bay. The Dolphins don't take the winter off, so there is a high likelihood of spotting them as they swim in their natrual habitat. Stopping on the bay side beaches are a perfect place to take a stroll or let your dogs enjoy a fun walk!
