Customary Use
Customary Use

Destin on the Gulf 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.

FEMA flood zone (parcel): VE, AE
FIRM panel: 12091C0488J, effective 03/09/2021
Base flood elevation: 15 ft
Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS): Outside all three
Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL): Seaward
Evacuation zone: B
Critically eroded shoreline: Critical. Florida DEP designates the western Destin shoreline (R17 to R25.5) 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. Holiday Isle got emergency sand in 2010 and the full beach restoration was finished in 2013. The nearest point of that stretch sits about 1,050 feet from this building.
