About the Area

Okaloosa Island Fun

Sure, the soft-white sands and emerald-green waters of the local beaches could keep you and your family busy forever, but there are endless possibilities off the seashore. From exploring your wild side on a wave-runner expedition around Choctawhatchee Bay to exploring flora and fauna from a comfortable glass-bottomed boad, the waters around Destin and Fort Walton Beach offer unlimited opportunities for fun.

Marine Life

See dolphins and other marine life in their natural habitats by joining a charter eco-tour from the Destin Harbor. Go diving or snorkeling to get up close and personal to the sea life.

Coastline

Explore the coastline and rivers by canoe or kayak for a mellow afternoon. Join a party fishing boat and meet new people from all walks of life in a relaxing, yet exciting setting. Go solo and enjoy fishing from just about anywhere along our shores. You might not be able to fly like a bird, but go parasailing and you’ll at least get a bird’s eye view as you soar above the stunning landscape and glistening waves below.
