BEACHES!!

Located on Santa Rosa Blvd on Okaloosa Island you will find 7 smaller beach accesses that are just as good, if not better, than any you will find in Destin. All include paved parking and restroom facilities. Parking areas are limited so go early to secure a spot! Accesses will be on the left and numbered 1-7.

Treat Yourself

Amazing place to drop in for a manicure, pedicure, wax, brow shaping, or all of the above! Employees are amazing with nails (dip, acrylic, gel, whatever). I've been their customer for over 2 years without one complaint. And it's less than 5 minutes away! They take drop ins but it's always recommended to make appointments, especially if you're having the works done 😀

You will never feel the same about a traditional doughnut after biting into one of these. Uniquely flavored and basically a meal🤣. Get there early so you have more choices. They sell out quick!

My go-to spot when I don't want to cook. Inexpensive, quick, and yummy! They are located right up the road (<5 min drive). Door dash is expensive so go directly to their website and order online for pick up. Save those extra $ for souvenirs or drinks, not on delivery and other online fees!

Cheap Hawaiian food! Cute little place for pick up or eat in. Less than a 5 min drive. Grab it to go and set out for the beach at sunset with a bottle of wine. That's what I usually do 😊

For the active guests

This has been my gym home for almost 7 years. Super friendly coaches and members. Yeah, its CrossFit but the members are an amazing community of encouragement, be it in our fitness, professional, or personal journeys. You'll be welcomed as one of our own. And hey...Saturday class is free to visitors! Located just a short drive up the road in Fort Walton Beach at 314 Eglin Pkwy NE

Don't know much about this gym, but it's maybe a 5 minute drive. Go get your lifting and cardio in before hitting the beach!
