The pontoon eases away from the dock behind GI Jades Tiki Bar, bow slicing green-tinted sandbars as the Destin skyline falls astern. Salt spray and laughter mix with cold drinks on the double-decker’s upper lounge; the twin slides glint like invitations while the captain finds the soft-bottom anchorage at Crab Island.

History
Crab Island is a shallow sandbar in Choctawhatchee Bay that became a social hotspot as Destin shifted from commercial fishing to recreation in the late 20th century.
Conservation
Keep glass off the sandbars, pack out all trash, and use reef-safe products—seagrass beds and juvenile fish rely on clean, undisturbed shallow waters.
