Beach Overview
Dazzling, snow white sands, brilliant green waters and a distinctly Southern grace characterize the Emerald Coast. Surrounded by the Gulf, Choctawhatchee Bay, Santa Rosa Sound, and many miles of docks and harbors. Standing on the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier a refreshing water bound feeling comes to ones senses along with a sudden urge to catch the big one! Saltwater fishing is a universally recognized sport here, and the bounty of the sea yields cobia, triggerfish, king mackerel and more in the "Billfish Capital of the World."
Fort Walton Beach
is a beach lovers paradise and utterly charming seaside resort town. This
slice of Florida's upper Gulf coast offers an easy pace and a gentle
hospitality that is as refreshing as its balmy sea breezes. Sparsely
scattered with sea oats, sand pines and blossoming magnolias, six
mile stretches of gentle sand dunes alternate with glimpses of
civilization and pockets of beach parks with pavilions and gazebos
along a picturesque coastline. These sun-kissed shores are host to
an extensive variety of entertainment and recreational
possibilities. Home to several museums,
Emerald Coast Science Center
and Indian Temple
Mound. One of the more popular
attractions is Gulfarium, a park featuring marine life exhibits and
performances. Shopping and dining are captivating experiences in
historic downtown Fort Walton Beach. This area is going thru rapid
growth that endangers its existence as a charming seaside resort
town. Lets just hope this area doesn't go the way of Miami
Beach. |
