Boat Ramp Description:
Single lane concrete boat ramp that ends at the water's
edge. About a half foot drop off from the concrete to the
sandy bottom. I would only launch a small boat here, think
a light 14'jon boat type would be ok on a trailer if you want
to deal with the drop off. You will have to back down from
Ruth Court street if you have a trailer, about 200 feet.

No designated parking area. Might get 2-3 vehicles with
trailers on the east side of 26th Avenue.

OTHER INFORMATION: Boats must pass under the 14th

what the clearance is.

Known as the "luckiest fishing village", Destin is the home to some of the best saltwater fishing in the United States. The 100 Fathom (600' depth) Curve of the Gulf of Mexico draws closer
to Destin than any other spot in Florida. This, along with Destin's close proximity to the East Pass and the Gulf of Mexico, allows quick access to the Gulf of Mexico's fishing bounty.
The purpose of this site is to acquaint a new fisherman to the Destin area - our local facilities, fish, waters and fishing methods. Tight lines and good fishing!
