The Village of Baytowne Wharf
This place is straight out of a postcard.
Adorable doesn’t even cut it. The mantra “you’d have to see it to believe it” exists here, but thankfully, you’ll get to see it to show others to believe it when you get that perfect shot.

A Destin Insta-Classic
Crab Island
I know you’re expecting an island full of crabs, which would be pretty photogenic, but also potentially dangerous, so let’s just start by saying this is not an island full of crabs.
It’s so much more! What makes people like photos more than a beautiful outdoor view? People having a good time! Which is exactly what you’ll find at crab island.
The island is essentially a sandbar where you have to take an adventure on a pontoon boat to get there, which means not only do you get photos of the activity on crab island but also the journey there. Book one of our pontoon boats to get there!
Make sure to check out one of the boat vendors for food!
Just don’t get too crazy or you’ll end up in one of those viral videos.
