If you're having trouble deciding which of the many stunning shorelines in Destin and neighboring Okaloosa Island to visit, previous travelers recommended Shores at Crystal Beach Park. Situated on the Gulf of Mexico, this beach park is frequently praised for its ivory sands and crystal-clear waters. Travelers also appreciate the cleanliness of the beach.
The Shores at Crystal Beach Park is home to a bevy of vacation rentals and cottages as well; if you're traveling with a large group and don't want to spend a small fortune on several hotel rooms, consider renting a house or cottage here.
The beach is open from dawn to dusk and offers a pavilion, restrooms, showers, picnic tables and limited parking. It's free to access. For more information about all of Destin's beach access points, visit the city's website.
