Been going to Destin for about 10 years now. Normally about 6-12 people and we always set up our spot under our canopy tent (8'x 8'). Got out this past weekend, unfolded the canopy and chair guy comes running out explaining they have become a huge liability and they are not allowed on the beach. Have others encountered this?

You can use them in Pensacola, and Orange beach, but they can't be beyond a certain point.. Marked with signs..

Private beach or public beach?

People never anchor them properly. Wind picks it up and bashes grandma in the face.

Tell him to prove it and pound sand. He’s just trying to sell you an umbrella for the week. I think Walton county just imposed size limits but unsure about Destin.

Canopies are as trashy as the public beach you went to.

Sounds like a way to get you to rent an umbrella.

"Last year we passed a code that prohibited any tents larger than six by six by six," Kellenberger explained. "The reasoning was, the data we had received over the course of last year revealed that the general public didn't like the pop-up style tents. So, we made an effort to prohibit those types of the tents."

From cityofdestin.com:


The City of Destin does not prohibit the placement of a pop up canopy on beaches within the city limits. Please note that leaving canopies on the beaches overnight may interfere with the beach cleaning services or may impede possible turtle nesting activities.

Just got back from Gulf Shores last week. We Rented 1 umbrella and then put 3 more around it. That's way better than one of those damn tents, IMO.

Just got back from 30a and one family set theirs up every day. Saw them in old Seagrove and on Grayton.

We just rented an um fella and chairs, but the guys were frickIng terrible to deal with. They put us in shitty spots every day, we we just moved the cards or The whole setup.
