Experience the The Emerald Coast

Crab Island

A favorite of locals and tourists alike, Crab Island is an anchoredboat haven where you can hunker down at the sprawling sandbar and enjoy a day in the sun, swimming the clear waters and wandering through the sea of friendly boaters. The atmosphere is fun and festive, and boating and floating vendors offer food, drinks, ice cream, floats and souvenirs. You can rent a boat on your own to venture out or hop on a captained excursion. Floats are a must and kayakers and paddle boarders are welcomed, too. The boat ride to and from offers an exciting experience in itself, with expansive views and frequent sightings of dolphins and other ocean life.
