TOP DESTIN & 30A BEACHES

Okaloosa Island is a thin three-mile island between Fort Walton Beach and Destin, Florida. Also known as Santa Rosa Island, Okaloosa Island was acquired in 1950 by U.S. Representative Robert F. Sikes. This island is lined with white sand beaches and is home to many different wildlife species. The Okaloosa Island fishing pier is popular among anglers for tarpon, tuna, and mackerel fishing. Not into fishing? The pier is also great for a scenic walk and views of the boardwalk! Visit Okaloosa Island for a laid-back and relaxing Florida vacation.
Have you ever seen sand dunes on a beach? Henderson Beach State Park boasts 30-foot, snow-white sand dunes on the shoreline! This strip of the Emerald Coast is the last remaining coastal scrub area in Destin. It was established for the preservation and protection of the area’s natural features and public enjoyment. The park is popular for Florida beach weddings, wildlife viewing, and fishing. Head to the Florida State Parks website for hours of operation, fees, and more information.
