Destin East Jetty
Shore-access jetty for snorkeling and diving at Destin East Pass.
Beach entry leads to shallow water near the access, with stronger tide and wake closer to the pass and better clarity around high tide.
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.
