Clean bathrooms and beaches! Lovely shaded area to sit and picnic. Outdoor showers to wash off the sand. Little Adventures is out there handing out free Popsicles and brochures for their free Adventures and paid packages!

I love this beach spot! Easy access, close to restaurants, and always a flag to tell you the condition of the water. FB page is up to date for latest info.

Is there alot of sand on this beach?

WanderDrone | Jun 10, 2022
Amanda Wilkins | Jun 11, 2022

Yes this is just like regular beach access except less tourist trap. You have the showers and restrooms without the restaurants so it’s more of a local experience then an annoying tourist site, I apologize for the previous comment some people aren’t actually out to help they are just out to mouth off. Shame on you sims. 🙄 if you can’t say anything nice how bout shutting up.

No beaches in Okaloosa County allow dogs. The City of Destin has a non beach dog friendly park. If your looking for beaches that allow dogs there is one in Pensacola and another in Panama City. The one in Walton County is for their residents only.

Patty Trackwell | Jun 17, 2020

Here is the official policy for Okaloosa county beaches. » Dogs: For safety reasons dogs are not allowed on the beaches in Okaloosa County. This policy is mandated by County Ordinance No. 77-19, Section 6, restricting dogs in public parks, beaches, school grounds, restaurants and food stores (except seeing eye & hearing ear dogs). I have personally seen small dogs on the beach so enforcement seems hit and miss. Please remember to remove any waste from the beach (including urine) if you do elect to take your pet
