this morning I'm headed to one of my favorite snorkeling spots in Destin
Florida but first if you're new to my channel consider clicking the subscribe

YouTube snorkeling community you will also be notified when I upload new
videos the snorkeling spot I'm talking about today if you've ever been to Destin
you've probably driven past not even realizing it was there or didn't realize
that was fantastic snorkeling in that area it is Norriego Point this is my
first visit since the city of Destin started the Norriego Point restoration
stabilization project and I'm really excited to see the changes that have
taken place continue watching and I'll show you how to get there and I'll also
show you what's happening at Norriego Point above and below the water take
Harbor Boulevard 98 head south on Gulf Shore drive and up ahead the road will
curve to the right keep going straight for a mile you'll reach a stop sign the
road will curve to the right
and then the road would curved to the left
continue driving and you will pass the Osteen Beach access on your left which
takes you to the east past jetty then you'll reach the end of Gulf Shore Drive
you'll see a sign that says Norriego Point public beach access on your left
and straight ahead is the parking lot once you've parked and unloaded
continue straight ahead and then to your left to get to the beach and swimming
areas and once you're at the beach and the swimming area you're going to need
to give yourself a moment to take in that extraordinary beauty
the swimming area is great for family fun and beach activities
the sand dunes at Norriego Point have been built up as part of the
stabilisation restoration project it creates an excellent habitat for
marine animals and coastal birds as I leave the swimming area walking along
the beach you'll notice the additional seawall and jetty structures that were
put in to further stabilize the area
you will also notice additional swimming areas so there's not just one not two
not three but four swimming areas
if you continue walking you'll eventually reach the point of Norriega
Point which is the entrance to Destin harbor and if you're lucky like I was
you may even see some dolphins
now it's time for my favorite beach activity snorkeling I'm going to dive in
and show you some of the amazing sea life here at Norriego Point and there's
even a surprise appearance it was a first for me
