US-98, resort entrance and parking
The north side introduces the entrance road, guest parking, garage and recreation courts.
The white L-shaped Gulf tower

The south side leads through the pool decks and beach access to Destin’s white sand.
Conceptual orientation model—not a survey, evacuation map or accessibility-routing document. Amenity positions and proportions are approximate.
What the Pelican Beach Resort 3D Explorer does
A written guide can say the entrance is on the US-98 side and the beach is opposite the building. The Explorer shows how those places relate spatially. It combines a rotatable property model, arrival-story player, selectable named locations and real photographs.

Follow arrival
Move visually from US-98 and security toward the main guest areas.
Recognize locations
Connect simplified model positions with photographs of actual resort areas.
It does not provide door codes, live parking availability, operating hours or a substitute for private guest instructions.

Accessibility and accuracy limitations
A mapped accessible space does not guarantee availability, vehicle fit, clear curbs or thresholds, elevator suitability, or an accessible pool, boardwalk and beach transition. Verify the complete route for the guest’s exact needs.
The model is independently created, illustrative and not to scale. It is not a survey, photogrammetric reconstruction, measurement tool, live parking display or substitute for posted signs. Small distances, angles, landscaping, structures and boundaries may be simplified for clarity.
