Tides

The nearby Destin Pass allows for regular water exchange between the Gulf and the Choctawhatchee Bay. During high tide, clear Gulf water flows into Crab Island. During low tide, brownish-green Choctawhatchee Bay water flows into Crab Island. High and low tide happens at least once a day and the time they happen changes daily. Water clarity can also be affected by other conditions such as storms, wind, rain runoff.
