It’s not everyday that you see an alligator swimming in Destin’s East Pass, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday afternoon.

Around 3:30pm on Monday, this gator was spotted swimming in front of the sea wall at East Pass Towers, according to Heather Morgan who sent us the footage. 

According to Morgan, he swam over towards the coves at Norriego Point and then went in the direction of the Harbor Walk/Crab Island area.
