Fishing Miramar Beach

Miramar Beach fronts open Gulf with no pass or inlet for miles, which makes it a surf fishery first: pompano and whiting in the trough, Spanish mackerel and ladyfish blitzing bait off the sand, and the occasional redfish cruising the first bar. The rare coastal dune lakes just east at Sandestin and Blue Mountain periodically break through to the Gulf, creating short-lived outflows that concentrate fish.

Target species

  • Pompano
  • Whiting
  • Spanish mackerel
  • Redfish

Local tip: Surf fishing here is about the trough and the wind — a light onshore breeze on a rising tide is the window.
