FEATURED DESTINATION
James Beard Reef
Discover Destin’s hidden underwater treasure just off the eastern jetty of East Pass—James Beard Reef. This natural rock formation teems with vibrant marine life, from colorful sponges and anemones to schools of snapper, grouper, and tarpon. Gentle currents and crystal-clear shallows make it ideal for snorkeling, shallow-water diving, and underwater photography—an effortless plunge into Florida’s living reef.
Favored by both eco-tour enthusiasts and avid anglers, James Beard Reef offers easy anchorage and prime red snapper and grouper grounds during season. Add this must-see reef to your Barrier Island Eco Tour or Custom Charter for an unforgettable glimpse beneath the Emerald Coast’s surface.
