Destin Live Beach Camera – Silver Dunes Condominium

It's where you want to be. This live beach camera comes from Silver Dunes Condominium at 1030 East Highway 98 in Destin, Florida, and looks out over the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Destin is the heart of Florida's Emerald Coast, famous for sugar-white quartz sand and water in vivid shades of green and blue. Once a small fishing village, it calls itself the World's Luckiest Fishing Village, with a huge charter fleet heading out from the harbour for snapper, grouper and amberjack.

What to watch

• The changing colour of the Gulf water
• Beachgoers, parasailers and boats offshore
• Glorious sunsets on clear evenings

Highway 98 is the coastal road linking Destin with Fort Walton Beach to the west and the 30A communities and Panama City Beach to the east, and it gets very busy in summer. Spring break, summer and holidays bring peak crowds, while autumn offers warm water and calmer beaches. The stream is provided by Silver Dunes Condominium.
