Destin: Okaloosa Island - Crab Island Watersports - Brooks Bridge - Fort Walton Beach - Choctawhatchee Bay - US Highway 98 - Gulf of Mexico
Brooks Bridge occupies a narrow sound crossing on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Carrying US Highway 98 across Santa Rosa Sound, it links Fort Walton Beach on the mainland with Okaloosa Island, the barrier island between the sound and the Gulf of Mexico. To the east, Choctawhatchee Bay reaches the Gulf through Destin’s East Pass, beside Crab Island, a shallow sandbar widely used by boaters. Fort Walton Beach is also home to the Indian Temple Mound, an important archaeological site preserving evidence of Indigenous communities that lived along this coast long before the modern resort corridor. This stretch of coast brings road traffic, boating waters and barrier-island shoreline together in a compact setting.

The Gulf of Mexico defines the setting of Destin — bright quartz sand, clear shallows and a working harbor make the water central to the city’s daily rhythm. East Pass connects Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay with the Gulf, concentrating charter boats, private vessels and a long-established fishing fleet along the waterfront. Fishing remains a defining local tradition, documented at the Destin History & Fishing Museum. On the Gulf side, Henderson Beach State Park protects coastal dunes and a stretch of the Florida Panhandle shore.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
