This​ Dreamy Underwater Sandbar In Emerald Coast, Florida Is A Massive Floating Beach Party

There's an expansive sandbar on the Emerald Coast of Florida with sparkling shallow waters where people enjoy cooling off and partying hard. It's called Crab Island located in the city of Destin.

It was once an actual island, but after sand drifted from the Gulf of Mexico and evened out the land, it became an exciting place for visitors to gather in the knee-deep ocean, enjoy food, and, of course, adult beverages.

The Emerald Coast stretches along the northwest, and it is home to the likes of breathtaking and unique beach towns such as Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. You can travel to those adorable places on foot from the coast.

However, to get to Crab Island, you can only go by boat, water taxi or any other appropriate water vessel.

Whether you anchor your own boat or ride the water shuttle, you can put inflatable sunbeds in the water, play floating beer pong, hop on paddleboards, and walk around in 1-4 feet of water.

There are pontoon charters, Crab Island cruises, and other excursions you can do to enjoy your time in the clear blue waters.

If you're hungry or thirsty, you can, of course, bring your own food. However, there are food and drinks drifting around the sandbar, such as a drive-thru burger shop, a traveling Sno Cone boat, and even a pineapple vendor.

You can dine at tables mounted on the sand in the middle of the water to sit and eat. There are umbrellas overhead for shade, as well.

There's an inflatable water park to jump around on and live concerts play during the summer months.

Keep your eyes peeled in the gorgeous waters, you might just find some dolphins!
