Looking for the perfect beach park for a day soaking up the sun with crystal-blue waves splashing nearby? Eglin Beach Park might be the perfect spot. Smooth, unspoiled sand and gulf views aren’t this beach park’s only perks. The accommodating parking area is accessible with a modest parking fee. A well-maintained pavilion, picnic tables, BBQ grills, clean restrooms, and indoor and outdoor showers make this one of the most well-equipped beaches in the Destin area, without the hotels and skyscrapers looming high in the background.
You’ll need a military, DoD, or federal ID to access the park, so keep that in mind when bringing guests along for the ride, although it can be rented for non-military events like high school reunions and weddings.
