Discover one of the jewels in Florida’s panhandle at Fort Walton Beach, a town with constant sun and fun for the ultimate Florida vacation. The downtown area is charming and feels classically American, but it’s at the beach where the town really shines. Okaloosa Island features fun parks, resort hotels, beachfront restaurants and miles of sand facing the Gulf of Mexico.

Fort Walton Beach is situated on the beautiful Gulf Coast, just a short trip from other waterfront destinations. Use your rental car to explore the wider area and its numerous thrilling cities.
Panama City
Panama City is a popular spot for wildlife watching and watersports. Join a charter boat to follow dolphins and turtles in the gulf waters. Wakeboarding, kayaking and sailing offer some of the best ways to see the area. The drive there is stunning, too, hugging the edge of the water in a long crescent before you reach the city.

Pensacola
Historic Pensacola is one of the best places to get your culture fix in the Panhandle region. Take a walking tour through the old Pensacola Village or roam around Downtown to visit art galleries and events venues.

New Orleans
It may be two states away, but it’s actually only a short trip from Fort Walton Beach to the Big Easy. Take an overnight trip there or head on a road trip around the Gulf Coast.
