Spend the afternoon on the sugar-white sands using your private deeded beach access directly across the street. Keep your boat at the marina, launch a paddleboard from the dock, or simply relax while watching the harbor come to life. As evening arrives, call the Destin Water Taxi from your private marina and cruise across the harbor for waterfront dining, live music, and sunset cocktails at HarborWalk Village or one of Destin's renowned harbor-front restaurants. No traffic. No searching for parking. Just an unforgettable way to experience Destin.
