James Lee Park

One of the finest beaches on the Emerald Coast, James Lee Park is a fantastic place to soak in the sun and surf on your Destin vacation. The beach is located in the community of Crystal Beach, less than 10 minutes from Destin Commons.

Bring along the lunch to savor a meal with family and friends at one of the picnic tables or pavilions. Families with young ones will also find restrooms with changing tables as well as a playground to keep the kids active.
