Same here... but I'm in my 20's and I've never even heard of Crab Island. WTH?? From that video that looks like the best water on the panhandle. I was at Navarre Beach on the 4th and water looked green from algae that washed in the day or two prior

I'm 49 and have been going for 20 years. There are all ages from little kids to 70+ including my parents. Good mix. There are always pockets of groups that look like a frat party, especially this week and Labor Day weekend. Most other weeks its a lot of families and large groups chilling in the water. You're always going to have some idiots like anywhere, but its not hard to stay away from the idiots or you can just hang with them if you want to be one.

We'll be there tomorrow with a family group of 8
