Customary Use
Destin Gulfgate sits right on the Gulf. 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 dry sand in front of it is private, with no public-use ruling on record. Reflects the public record as of June 2026.
