We are staying in one of the houses circled. As you can see, its right next to the rocks. I bet fishing should be pretty decent hopefully.
What would you be casting?

You can catch sand fleas and put them on the bottom

Used to catch all kind of stuff from the tip of that lower jetty on dead shrimp

I think I had some relatives stay there one time. Our place is right across from the Racetrack but I would drive over there. I think that week was the only time I have ever fished in-shore in Destin since we typically go offshore. On point, I fished the jetties with a gold Spoon and caught several Reds and we caught some Pompano in the surf. Also, one night a dude set-up a heavy surf rod right by those houses and kayaked out about 100 yards and dropped his bait. He ended up landing a gigantor Bull Shark. Maybe 400 pounds. Pretty much ended me ever wanting to get in the gulf after that.

Soft plastics bounced off the rocks.

Personally I wouldn't even bother with the jetty. Fish shallow in the surf with light tackle and load up on pompano with shrimp pieces on small hooks like you are bream fishing, and keep your eyes out for schooling ladyfish early in the morning. By the late morning, it is too hot to fish, get in the shade and start drinking. Also, the birds will steal your bait when you turn your back. Keep it in a small cooler they can't open. Also the larger cranes will try to get the pompano off your hook for you. good luck, have fun!
PS- do you have access to that lake behind the houses?

I think the largest shark ever caught in Florida was from there and someone caught a mako there recently.
You can catch almost anything there

I stay in Jetty East every year. Catch the sand fleas and use them on the bottom.

In hopes that your son might catch some fish: Along the beach I would try a pompano jig with a gulp bait strip for scent. You will catch too many trash fish (catfish) using shrimp. Bump the jig slowly along the bottom and maybe catch a flounder or red. Try chunking a spoon along the beach and along the jetty for reds. You never know what you are going to catch fishing around that jetty. With that said, it's getting hot and it's not really the best time of the year to fish. There's always lady fish that will hit just about anything and can be fun for a youngster to catch.

If you haven't arrived yet then you will find out it is a good spot to fish but plenty of others will be fishing too.
Spanish and ladyfish will entertain your son all week long. Get a spoon, gotcha, or anything you can cast as far as possible. Use a heavy leader.
As said sand fleas or shrimp on the bottom is solid too. In between the 2 jetties and fishing off of them is a solid spot for a bull red.

I’ve never fished that side of the jetties... but I’ve caught some monster redfish on shrimp (both live and dead) on the other jetty. I’ve also caught some AJ and one beefy mackerel which was a hell of a fight in that current with the falling tide.

Watching this guy real in what looks to be hard heads. Catfish of some sort the way he struggles to get a grip on them. Keeping everyone he has caught. Orange beach
