At the western tip of the Destin peninsula is East Pass (also known as Destin Pass), separating it from Okaloosa Island to the west. Destin Pass is the only outlet (deep enough for large boats) of Choctawhatchee Bay into the Gulf of Mexico. It's a very popular spot for boating and other water recreation. The Destin Harbor, the Destin Pass, Norriego Point, and Crab Island are all within the geographical area.
