Talk to the locals!

I was reading this post about Staff's Restaurant and wanted to add something here. Staff's Restaurant is the OLDEST FAMILY OWNED RESTAURANT in the state of FLORIDA! There are still family members at this place every single day, and when you're there you should ask them about the place, the family, the town, the food etc. It's such an interesting place. The STAFF family where some of the first to settle in the Fort Walton Beach area (actually it was called Camp Walton back then). There is an old hotel behind the restaurant that was also owned by the Staff Family. The hotel isn't open anymore, but I think it was designated as a state landmark or something about 10 years ago.
If you're looking for REAL, AUTHENTIC Florida cuisine, served by a family that's been in the same spot for well over 100 years, Staff's Restaurant is, without question, the answer!
Staff's is located in the heart of downtown Fort Walton Beach. If you need directions ask any local you see; literally!

This bungalow style house at 109 E. Brooks Street was constructed of cypress from the W. E. Duggan lumber mill in Milligan Alabama. It was first used as a summer guest cottage.

Sunsets and sunrises. We can see both here either over the bay or the gulf of Mexico and they are very pretty. Here is a sunrise over the bay behind a beached sailboat.
It is free and occurs everyday except when it is cloudy. Trust me there are beautiful. You can book a cruise on sailboat and sail into the sunset. What do you think?
