Destin Marina

Located on the north side of the Destin Bridge in Destin, Florida, this marina boat ramp provides convenient access to Choctawhatchee Bay, Crab Island, and the Gulf of Mexico. The launch is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats seeking to explore the protected waters of the bay or venture into open gulf waters. The marina also offers eight boat slips available for daily or nightly rentals for those needing overnight docking.

The ramp serves as an ideal starting point for paddling adventures in the Choctawhatchee Bay area, offering direct water access without long paddle-out distances. This location is particularly popular for reaching nearby Crab Island and exploring the bay's shallow, protected waters. For paddlers planning multi-day trips or seeking facilities beyond launching, note that the marina provides boat slip rentals, though freshwater amenities may be limited.
