[quote=martyr]Speaking from experience here, the launch at the Gulf Islands National Seashore park on Okaloosa Island is a very nice low and sandy access. You will be sailing in Choctwhatchee bay which is a very wide open bay with plenty of room to sail. If you want to launch from the beach, the access points are fairly limited. There is an access to the beach next to the boardwalk on Okaloosa Island and I have set up in the parking lot early in the morning and taken my boat on beach wheels through the access and launched from the beach there. I was advised that it was an emergency access and if I blocked it, I would probably get a citation. I did this very early in the day when there were no people around even on the beach yet, did it once and probably won't do it again. As far as Destin goes, not sure about beach access for launching. As said before, I would check with wherever it is that you will be staying to find out any details.
We lived in Destin on Gulfshore Drive back in the late 70s and Destin had 1 traffic light, now it is a very congested area for sure.[/quote]
