Customary Use
Customary Use

Caribbean Dunes I looks out over the Gulf from just back of the beach. Along this coast, the wet sand below the mean high-water line is always open to the public. Where a beach has been rebuilt with public money, that open stretch can reach farther up, to a marked Erosion Control Line. The nearest public beach walkover is a short distance away. Reflects the public record as of June 2026.

Critically eroded shoreline: Critical. Florida DEP designates the eastern Destin shoreline (R39 to R50) as critically eroded — the state's term for a beach where erosion now threatens buildings, roads, parks or habitat. A restored beach keeps that designation so it stays eligible for state money to maintain it. This stretch is a beach restoration project, built in 2007. The nearest point of that stretch sits about 1,150 feet from this building.
