About

Baytowne Adventure Zone at Baytowne Wharf in Miramar Beach offers one of the Destin area's more unique adventure experiences: a high ropes course set above the village grounds at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. For older kids and teens who've had enough beach days and need a physical challenge, this is a genuinely exciting alternative.

The high ropes course involves navigating elevated platforms, rope bridges, and aerial obstacles while fully harnessed and belayed. It requires problem-solving, courage, and physical agility — the kind of challenge that builds genuine confidence in kids who work through it. The setting above Baytowne Wharf means climbers have views of Choctawhatchee Bay while they navigate the course.

There is one absolutely critical planning note: Baytowne Adventure Zone is open ONLY on Saturday and Sunday, 12PM-8PM. It is closed every other day of the week. This is not the exception — it's the standard operating schedule. Many Destin vacationers plan to visit mid-week and arrive to find it closed. Verify this before making it part of your itinerary.

Height and weight requirements apply for the ropes course — check the website for current minimums. Younger kids (under 7) typically don't meet requirements. Closed-toe shoes are required. The surrounding Baytowne Wharf village makes this an easy destination for a full Saturday afternoon: ropes course, then dinner at a waterfront restaurant overlooking the bay.
