We are excited to come see this completed! What an amazing asset that is a short 2 minute walk from our home or you can ride a golf cart to carry all your beach equipment!!
TARPON BEACH: A ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 15 will mark the completion of Tarpon Beach Gulf Front Park, a joint project between the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Destin and the Trust for Public Land that adds 340 feet of public beach access along Scenic Highway 98.
The ceremony is set for 7:30 a.m. at 3310 Scenic Highway 98, and the public is invited to attend.
The park offers free parking with 49 standard spaces, three ADA-accessible spaces and 29 low-speed vehicle spaces, along with bathrooms and four pavilions.
The project represents a total investment of $16.96 million shared between the city and county, funded through tourism revenue. It is part of a broader initiative between the two governments to expand public beach access in Destin.
