All vacationers can take advantage of the recreation area's private beach. A small swimming pool site just off the beach, and two full play grounds help keep children entertained. The recreation area's 300-foot pier is a prefect place to watch for dolphins, crab, snails, and other bay creatures. The recreation area's marina provides even more activity. Hundreds of people a year depart the pier aboard the Follow Me, the recreation area's 48-foot charter boat.
Passengers can either fish or relax on deck.
But the fun does not stop at the recreation area's borders. Destin is saturated with exciting attractions, including shopping areas, nightclubs, and a variety of restaurants, serving the best in fresh seafood. All are just a short distance from the recreation area. Eglin Air Force Base, the largest air base in the free world, is located just 13 miles from the recreation area. Tours of the base are available from January through March and from June through August.
