6Where exactly is Crab Island?
Crab Island is ensconced on the north side of the Marler Bridge (or Destin Bridge). Specifically, it is located at the Choctawhatchee Bay’s entrance just inside in Okaloosa County’s East Pass. It is here that both the inflowing and outflowing crystal waters from the Gulf of Mexico meet.
It is protected from the waves and the surf. Because of the powerful tidal currents, boat traffic, and the distance from shore, it can only be reached via boat. If, however, you are athletic and looking for some exercise, you can also access Crab Island by kayak or even stand-up paddleboard.
