Default Destin Area Ramps

Is Joe's Bayou about the best ramp going to launch? Any others come to mind of anyone real familiar down there. Was down 2 yrs ago without boat, so drove around and looked at the bayou per a locals recommendation. Thanks
Anyone recognize this ramp in the link? http://www.flpowerboat.com/gallery/d...um=305&pos=122

The ramp in the link you posted is on Okaloosa Island. I dont know the name of it. Do a search for a night club called Sammy's for an address. This will give you an idea where it is as the ramp is right around the corner.

Yes use Joe's Bayou ramp. Very nice, lot's of Parking. Whatever you do do not use http://www.thedestinmarina.com/ boat launch. To close to the jetty. Depending on the tide they have 13mph current. MADE THINGS SUCK! it took 4 people to hold the boat as I pulled out of the crappiest ramp I've ever seen. Great place to store a boat safely on the trailer and grab supplies though.

There is also a ramp at the public park in Mary Esther.

Appears to be the one by Dewey Destins. I drove by that one did look scary especially with that dock that is kicked out right behind the ramp.
