About Destin East Jetty

Destin East Jetty is a rocky shore-access site at the east side of Destin Pass, reached from the beach at O'Steen Public Beach Access. The in-water route starts shallow near the access, then gets more exposed toward the point, where tide, wake, and clarity can change quickly. It works best when the water settles around slack tide and cleaner Gulf flow pushes in.
