Frequently Asked Questions

The famed East Pass of Destin is Man-Made. They started digging a path from Choctawhatchee Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. They clearly had the right idea. The flood waters were released the day after the digging started and they rushed through creating what we now call the East Pass.

Sea lions are not usually dangerous. Although they aren't aggressive, sea lions tend to keep to their own pace and don't get into fights. However, as wild animals of 600 pounds, they must be respected. There have been instances when sea lions have inflicted injury on humans.

Do not touch the dolphins. The dolphins will attempt to make physical contact with you if they feel the need. Touching one dolphin will cause them to leave the area. This not only affects dolphin behavior, but also causes irritation to other members of your group as everyone loses in the swim.
