About
The Crab Trap is one of Destin’s longtime beachfront favorites, sitting right on the sand at James Lee Park with Gulf views from every table. It’s the rare spot where you can watch the waves roll in while you crack crab legs, with a laid-back tiki bar pouring frozen drinks just steps from the water.
The menu leans into Gulf Coast classics — the signature hot crab dip, bronzed grouper, steamed Alaskan crab legs, and daily fresh catches — alongside burgers and baskets for the kids. Casual, family-friendly, and busy for a reason, it’s a Destin beach day staple.
