What Is Crab Island?

At high tide, the water is typically waist to chest deep, making it perfect for:

  • Families with kids
  • Groups and bachelorette parties
  • Floating, relaxing, and socializing

You’ll often find:

  • Floating food vendors
  • Inflatable water parks
  • Boats tied together
  • Music and a lively atmosphere
