Destin Boardwalk Visitors Guide

The Destin Boardwalk, situated along the stunning Destin Harbor, is a significant part of the area's history and culture.

The boardwalk spans just shy of a mile along the Destin Harbor, offering its visitors incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico and easy access to water activities such as dolphin tours, party boat and private fishing charters, and pontoon rentals to popular Crab Island.

The Boardwalk hosts a variety of annual events, including the Destin Fishing Rodeo each October and holiday celebrations, which attract visitors from around the country. This staple landmark is a favorite among visitors and locals alike, so be sure to cross this historical gem off your Destin bucket list if you haven't yet.
