Fort Walton Beach is located in the Florida panhandle, east of Pensacola, and includes the adjacent Okaloosa Island. Best known for beaches and outdoor activities, Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island welcome everyone to enjoy warm weather, lots of sunshine, and tropical vibes.
During the day, go boating and cruising, play golf, parasail, scuba dive, and snorkel. One of the top attractions, Okaloosa Island features spacious beaches, a pier, and boardwalk packed full of places to go and things to do. At The Boardwalk Okaloosa Island, enjoy beachfront shopping, fresh seafood, locally owned restaurants and seasonal firework shows.
Fishing also ranks as a must-do in Fort Walton Beach. Cast a line from the pier or venture out into the Gulf's deep waters. Book a charter and roam Choctawhatchee Bay, which spans 30 miles full of redfish, flounder, shrimp and trout. Those fishing in the Gulf can search for cobia, king mackerel, tarpon and snapper. For a more relaxing day, book a sailing or dolphin sightseeing cruise with a local guide.
In addition to outdoor activities, Fort Walton Beach also has attractions for all ages. Learn and play at Emerald Coast Science Center and Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park.
