Fort Walton Beach Vacation Guide

Fort Walton Beach has been a family vacation destination for many years. Each new generation still travels back to vacation here as they did when they were children.

Now, with the introduction of the Emerald Coast Conference Center right here on Okaloosa Island, it has also gained welcome attention as a group and business destination.

Okaloosa Island is the stretch of beach in Fort Walton Beach. The “Island” is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the south, the Sound, our intercoastal waterway to the north and by federal land to the east and west allowing the area to remain a charming moderate size, not too overpowering, yet large enough to offer first class accommodations, dining, activities and attractions. Through the years, this area has undergone wonderful and thoughtful redevelopment. While still present are some classic beach retreats of yesteryear, Fort Walton Beach vacation rentals boast many new resorts, offering travelers options to best fit their vacation needs. Let us lure you to the Island in one of our beachfront properties from one to four bedrooms. The vacation spot of the past has been revived and is definitely a current favorite with the same great beach and our most welcoming rates on daily, weekly and monthly stays in Fort Walton Beach!

In Fort Walton Beach, you will experience wonderful attractions and the local dining here is delectable. Within two miles, one can find the freshest seafood, most appetizing pizza and tasty Mexican food, just to name a few. Our Guide to Fort Walton Beach can lead you to some of Southern Resorts’ favorite places in Fort Walton Beach and remember that only six miles separates Okaloosa Island from Destin.
