Crab Island
Crab Island is actually a submerged sandbar just south of the Marler Bridge in Destin, Florida — you anchor off and wade right into the shallow, crystal-clear water alongside a floating crowd of inflatables, music, and food boats pulling up alongside. It's essentially an open-air party in the middle of the bay, with the Destin Bridge as your backdrop and vendors coming to you.
