What is Crab Island?

The name Crab Island suggests it’s an island. In fact, at one time it was an island but drifting sands from the Gulf of Mexico eroded it over time and now it is an underwater sandbar and popular place to anchor your boat.

This underwater boating and party island is located on the North side of the Destin bridge. As you cross the Destin bridge, during the spring and summer months, you will see anywhere from tens to hundreds of boats anchored in the bay over the shallow sandbar.

Renting a pontoon boat is necessary to get to them. Crab Island is about standing around in shallow water, socializing with people, and drinking. It's very crowded in summer and takes about 2 minutes to get there after you depart the dock.
