The Destin East Jetty, also called the Finger Jetty or just Destin Jetty, extends over 300 feet (91 meters) into Destin East Pass and reaches a maximum depth of around 50 to 55 feet (15 to 16.5 meters) at its point. Depth can vary depending on how the currents have shifted around the sand bars in the channel. The jetty is best visited at slack high and low tide, as the currents in the pass can be strong at other times. Visibility is best around high tide when clean water from the Gulf of Mexico has replaced the murkier water from Choctawhatchee Bay. The jetty itself is merely a large pile of rocks, but it supports an incredible array of marine life, which is what makes it so popular with divers and snorkelers alike. Two small statues can be seen on the northern slope of the jetty right where the jetty transitions to sand.
