The water at Crab Island is at its most beautiful hues of blue before and after high tide, as water from the Gulf of Mexico pours through the Destin Pass. Plan your trip around high tide for the clearest water. Low tide sends water from the Choctawhatchee Bay in the opposite direction, causing water that's not as clear.
Can you visit Crab Island during low tide? Of course you can! The water may not be as clear, but the beauty of Crab Island will still amaze you!
Remember you should never swim to Crab Island – the currents are too strong, even for expert swimmers.
