Destin East Jetty

★★★★☆ (611)

This is a shore dive. There are jetties on both the east and west side of the pass at this beach - the east side is where people do most of their diving. This is a good local spot with plenty to see.

Jellyfish can get heavy at this site so wear your exposure protection! You’ll also see typical Caribbean fish life like damsels, grunts, snapper, and many more!
