No it doesn't. There is still debris and some contamination in the water. I haven't found out how quickly the tidal action clears this stuff out. I know that there is a double red flag (no swimming) edict for South Walton Beaches currently. All of Destin's flag poles were destroyed so they won't be on the full blown system. You'll need to check wioth your reps on whether swimming is safe or not yet.

I heard from one source that the water was still very dark. We are scheduled to go to the Pelican Beach Resort on the 23rd and have been told it will be up and going by this Monday at the latest. That includes beach access. That means we have to go since we rent from an owner and wouldn't get a refund. We are just going to make the best of it. Look at it this way. It'll be easier to get into the restaurants for the next few weeks.

:D

Edit: BTW, here is a site with current flag conditions:
