Destin Beach Oil Spill Update – As of June 20, 2010 there have been scattered reports of small tar balls (about the size of a marble) but mostly in small amounts that can be gathered easily. From this point on throughout summer, be aware that there is a chance of spotting oil blots in the water and on the beaches in Destin, FL. The good news is that the county has been putting out miles of booms in the water to block the majority of the oil slick and they have many more miles worth of boom on hand in case more of the oil slick heads toward Destin Beach. Daily updates are provided by city and government officials and we will work to keep you updated if the oil spill sightings increase in Florida.

If you have a vacation rental in Destin, FL booked for the near future, it’s a great idea to contact the person or company you are renting from to inquire about their cancellation policy in case the Destin Beaches are hit with the oil spill.
