Destin Visitor's Guide
Gator Beach is a one of a kind alligator park located at Fudpuckers in the heart of Destin. We are one of the top-rated attractions in the area because we offer unique experiences that you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for adventure while in Destin, Gator Beach Alligator Park is a must-see stop. Here are a limited reasons why we call ourselves The World’s Greatest Alligator Park:
We are COMPLETELY FREE to visit: At Gator Beach, we don’t charge you an arm and a leg to get in the door. There is no admission cost to enter our alligator park and you are free to walk around, request questions, and even watch our Alligator Shows with absolutely no charge.
We have hundreds of Alligators: Gator Beach is also the largest alligator park on the Emerald Coast! We offer the chance to get up cover and personal with hundreds of alligators in a way that is much safer and easier than trying to spot alligators in the wild. Whether you’re visiting Florida for the first time and always wanted to see an alligator, or you just love learning about animals, we offer the experience to get closer and see more alligators than anywhere else in the area.

Live Gator Boys Alligator Shows
Our alligator shows are performed by the Gator Boys Alligator Rescue team in our alligator pit with stadium-style seating and a mechanical louvered covered roof that provides maximum shade and coverage from the powerful South Florida sunshine. Every Everglades airboat tour ticket purchase includes access to our 20-minute alligator show, where you’ll watch our expert alligator handlers perform tricks and stunts, all while teaching you all about the American alligator!

The prominent figures being Paul Bedard, Jimmy Riffle, and Chris Gillette, among others, are shown wrestling alligators out of places those animals shouldn’t be. Their final episode aired in February of 2015 and showed the Gator Boys advocating for and pressing on policy reform for safe habitation of alligators.
Exhilarating Performances
The show includes many jaw-dropping, up close and personal looks at the behavior and mannerisms of American alligators. One of the tricks called the “f
