Guide
Good to know
Arrive early for shell hunting
The beach has abundant shells, sand dollars, and sandipers, but the best finds go quickly in the morning.
Get a permit before arriving
Non-DOD visitors need a recreational permit from Tyndall AFB, costing $11-$20 and requiring a background check.
Expect a long boardwalk walk
The parking lot is a significant distance from the water, requiring a trek across sand with coolers and chairs.
Bring your own water and supplies
Facilities are minimal: only a portable toilet, no trash cans on the beach, and no freshwater showers or concessions.

Questions
Common questions
How far is the walk to the water at Crooked Island Beach?
375 yd in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, about 5 min. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Crooked Island Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
