Not too busy, plenty of space between us and others on the beach, pretty neat snorkeling against the rocks, calm water with hardly any waves, awesome Thursday night fireworks (8:30)! Only drawback is that there were quite a few tour boats that came in, but they aren't there for very long. More

My family stayed at Jetty East last summer. We loved the location, beach service, amenities, etc. Terry at the front desk did an exceptional job. More

We were there today and there was hardly any beach, no shells, and really poor fishing. It is nothing like I remember from before. You are much beter to park at the Crab Shack and enjoy the beach there. More

We've been visiting Holiday Isle (where Jetty East Beach is located) for well over a decade and it has always been one of our favorite beaches. After Hurricane Opal in 1995, there was a lot of work put in to rebuild the entire area. Then Hurricane Dennis hit in 2005 and the place has never fully recovered. The beach is... More

I read about this attraction so wanted to try it out because I had never been. It's on the harbor not the Gulf, so there was no emerald green water like I wanted. There were no bathroom and it was all families with kids 10 and under it seemed. So we quickly moved down the beach a little bit. If... More

My family along with another family we travel with has been to Jetty East several times. They have had some irrotion (sp) with their beaches but now have it taken care of. Even when the beach was shrinking it was still big and clean. JE has a nice pavillion to bbq or eat lunch from, plenty of parking, showers, bathrooms,... More
