🌉 About Destin Bridge

Located in Okaloosa County, the bridge carries U.S. Highway 98 across East Pass, connecting Destin with Okaloosa Island and providing an important transportation link along the northwestern Florida coastline.

The bridge crosses a scenic waterway connecting Choctawhatchee Bay with the Gulf of Mexico. Its location offers impressive views of turquoise waters, passing boats and the surrounding coastal landscape.

Destin is famous for its white sandy beaches, recreational fishing, waterfront restaurants and popular attractions such as HarborWalk Village and Crab Island.
