We went specifically to eat at the Crab Trap on our vaca less than a week ago. I had researched restaurants in the area online. Crab Trap's menu listed daily specials from 3 to 5. Once seated in the restaurant we were advised they had no such of a thing. That a couple years ago maybe but not now. We... More

Its a great place in the day for young kids, they have a decent play set in the sand for them to play on. My little one had a ball for hours running around in it. Try the gelato shop it has some...

There are three restaurants - The Black Pearl, The Crab Trap, and Angler's Beachside Bar and Grill. There is an ice cream shop and two night clubs. There's also shopping for any forgotten beach necessities. A great spot for either night or day. We usually park here during our trips to the beach because they have on site bathroom facilities....

If you are in the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area, this is "THE" beach to go to. Young and not so young (me) seem to enjoy this beach a lot. Yes, there were lots of "hard bodies" (not me... I consider myself a semi-hard body), but it is also a very family friendly beach. In the summer, the water... More

We enjooyed the pier very much on our stay. The shops were just your average beach shops with not so friendly staff, nothing spectacular that we found. The Crab Shack was our favorite part of The Boardwalk. I also heard great things about The Black Pearl but we did not try it. More
