Customary Use
Customary Use

The Tides of Destin 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.

Geographic Overlays
Geographic Overlays
FEMA flood zone (parcel): VE, AE, AO, X
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): Landward
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 1,100 feet from this building.
Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS): Not in the DBPR dataset (as of 07/31/2026).
A structural integrity reserve study is a state-required engineering study of a building's big-ticket parts and the money set aside to replace them.
Florida law requires a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years for each residential condominium building three habitable stories or higher. Section 718.112(2)(g)1., Florida Statutes (2025).
