BEACH ACCESS
Harbor Dreams house is located on Holiday Isle, which is a strip of land in Destin, Florida between the Gulf of Mexico and Destin Harbor. The house sits directly on Destin Harbor but there are lots of beach options nearby.

-->>O’STEEN BEACH AND JETTIES
From the house, walk a few minutes to the right (0.2 miles) on the sidewalk and you will see the O'Steen beach path entrance. There’s a nice swimming and snorkeling area here.

The swimming area here on the east pass is usually calm, even on days when the Gulf of Mexico is rough or has red flags--so it's a great spot for kids. There is a lifeguard during busy season. You walk on a path through the sand to get here.

The jetties are beautiful large rocks great for climbing and fishing. They also attract marine life for snorkeling. If you walk past the first jetties to the second set of jetties, you will find a very beautiful beach area on the Gulf of Mexico water.

-->NORRIEGO POINT
From the house, walk 0.5 miles to the right and Gulf Shore Drive will dead end into Norriego Point. There are several calm swimming coves on Norriego Point with lifeguards during busy season. It's a beautiful spot to watch the boats coming and going from fishing trips and all the hustle and bustle of Harborwalk Village across the water.

-->>HOLIDAY ISLE PRIVATE BEACH GATE
From the house, turn left on the sidewalk and walk about 0.7 miles (10-13 minutes) until you reach the private Holiday Isle beach gate. Use the key card we provide to open the gate. This is a beautiful spot on the Gulf of Mexico nestled between private homes and condos. There is no parking or public access, so it's not as crowded as other beaches in Destin get.

-->JUNE WHITE DECKER PARK BEACH
The nearest public beach with parking is June White Decker beach. It is 3 miles away in the same parking lot as the Back Porch Restaurant. There is plenty of parking, restrooms, and outside showers. The sand and water are close to the parking lot and easy to access.

-->HENDERSON STATE PARK
Just past June Decker is Henderson Beach State Park--one of the more pristine and beautiful beaches in Destin. They have picnic pavilions, grills, restrooms/outdoor showers, and almost a mile of untouched beach. There’s even a nature trail loop and a small playground near one of the further parking lots. There is a $6 entrance fee per vehicle.
