Fort Walton Beach
A 24 mile strip of dazzling beach stretching east to Destin and beyond
Diving shops and marinas line the US 98, which skirts the coast and links Fort Walton to Santa Rosa Island. Known locally as Okaloosa Island, this is where most local people and visitors go. The clear water offers superb swimming as well as pier and deep-sea fishing, and thisis a prime location for water sports too.
You can also swim or go sailing or windsurfing off the island's north shore, on sheltered Choctawhatchee bay. Boat trips can be arranged at the numerous marinas. For those who prefer dry land, the Emerald Coast boasts a dozen golf courses.
Performing dolphins and sea lions star in daily shows at the popular Gulfarium marine park. The glass walls of the Living Sea aquarium reveal sharks, rays and huge sea turtles. There are also seal and otter enclosures as well as alligators and exotic birds.
