Turning 30, 40, or 50 this summer? If you're looking for fun ways to celebrate your milestone birthday while you're visiting Destin, look no further than Crab Island. Crab Island is one of the most popular gathering places in Destin, and for good reason! Hundreds of boats anchor up at this underwater sandbar every day for some fun in the sun. You'll find floating restaurants, inflatable bounce parks, and even occasionally live bands playing on a floating stage. Crab Island offers something for all ages and is the perfect place to get away from it all and spend the day with your family and friends celebrating YOU.
Getting to Crab Island
Getting to Crab Island means you'll need a boat, as the sandbar is only accessible by water. You can rent a boat (pontoons, aka "party barges" are most popular), charter a yacht, or purchase tickets for the Crab Island Shuttle Boat to take part in the festivities.
Renting a Boat
Renting a boat allows you to choose from fishing boats, pontoons, or powerboats for 4 or 8 hours. Load up your family and friends and head to Crab Island for your private celebration. Pack your coolers with food and drinks for the day (alcohol is allowed at Crab Island), or plan to visit one of the floating restaurants (we recommend Water World—their reinvented fried bologna sandwich will make you rethink bologna!). Bring some tunes, towels, floaties, and lots of sunscreen. If you're planning a party for someone else, you can even bring your birthday decorations!
Chartering a Yacht
Chartering a yacht is the ultimate way to celebrate your milestone birthday in style. Spend a few hours—or the entire day—on the water with all the comforts of a private party suite. Your captain will handle the navigation while you relax and enjoy the festivities with your guests.
Riding the Crab Island Shuttle Boat
The Crab Island Shuttle Boat is Destin’s most convenient and affordable way to get to the sandbar. Book a round-trip ticket and enjoy a few carefree hours at Crab Island. The shuttle seats up to 27 guests, making it ideal for group celebrations. Plus, with a licensed captain and crew included, no one has to worry about getting back to the dock safely.
Celebrate Your Milestone Birthday the Destin Way
Regardless of which option you choose, you're sure to have a memorable experience celebrating your milestone birthday at Crab Island in Destin, Florida.
