This new beachfront park provides free parking with 49 standard spaces, three ADA-accessible spaces, 29 low-speed vehicle spaces, bathrooms, four pavilions and breathtaking views of the Gulf waters.
The Tarpon Beach Gulf Front Park project is a dedicated effort by the City of Destin and Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners to effectively use tourism revenue and expand public beach access for residents and visitors with a total investment of $16.96 million shared between the City and County.
