Miramar Beach flag FAQ
Why Miramar Beach can fly a different flag than Destin, and what each color means.
Is the Miramar Beach flag the same as Destin’s?
No. Miramar Beach is in Walton County, where South Walton Fire District lifeguards set the flag. Destin is in Okaloosa County, and its flag is set by Destin Beach Safety.
The two are often different on the same day, so a Destin flag report doesn’t tell you what’s flying in Miramar Beach.

Where does the Miramar Beach flag start?
At the Okaloosa–Walton county line, east of Henderson Beach State Park. East of the line, Miramar Beach, Sandestin and 30A all fly South Walton’s flag. West of it, you’re under Destin’s flag.

Who sets the beach flag in Miramar Beach?
South Walton Fire District lifeguards. They cover the Walton County beaches from Miramar Beach east along 30A, set the flag each morning, and can change it during the day.
What do the beach flag colors mean?
- Green: low hazard, calm conditions.
- Yellow: moderate surf and currents, use caution.
- Red: high hazard, strong surf or currents.
- Double red: the water is closed to the public.
- Purple: dangerous marine life, like jellyfish. Purple can fly with any other color.
Can I swim when there’s a double red flag?
No. Double red means the water is closed to the public, and you can be fined for going in. Even on a single red flag day, stay out past your knees if you’re not a strong swimmer.

Miramar Beach flags are set by South Walton Fire District, which covers the beaches from the Walton County line through Inlet Beach. Destin and Okaloosa Island fly a separate flag, so conditions can differ just a few hundred yards apart. Check today's flag here before you swim, and always follow the flag at the nearest lifeguard stand.
Las banderas de Miramar Beach las establece el South Walton Fire District, desde el límite del condado de Walton hasta Inlet Beach. Destin y Okaloosa Island usan otra bandera, así que las condiciones pueden cambiar a pocos metros. Revise la bandera de hoy antes de nadar y siga siempre la bandera del puesto de salvavidas más cercano.
