Tarpon Beach Gulf Front Park is a new public beach access point on Scenic Highway 98 in Destin, added to the city's Gulf-front holdings. Okaloosa County and the City of Destin held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 15, 2026, and a local report confirmed the park had opened. The city's current beach information page lists Tarpon Beach among its newest acquisitions and lists it as already in use.
