Charlie Kirk Memorial Reef

Destin, offshore

No published price

A privately funded concrete structure of more than 17 tons went to the bottom off Destin on 08/19/2026, a couple of miles out from Henderson Beach. It sits in around 80 feet of water, close to the RMS Cyclops. Its hollow interior is built to hold fish: bare sand grows little, and the same footprint grows a great deal in a single season.
