Yaqui Says: Ok, I found this cool little map inside when I was visiting the Indian Temple Mound Musuem. It illustrates where each historical building are and when it they were built. Really cool I think. It doesn't cost anything to walk around yourself and to be able to get out into the...
grandmaR Says: When it was announced, we went to see the Dolphin show (four bottlenosed dolphins including one two year old who was born at the Gulfarium). We weren't supposed to stand up during the show, so I went up to the top seat where no one would be behind me. There was quite a brisk...
Sea Lion Show at the Gulfarium
grandmaR Says: We walked past the sea lion performance area on the way to the Dune Lagoon where they were feeding the brown pelicans. The sea lions were sitting on some of the platforms kind of sleeping. (photo 2)After the dolphin show, we had the Sea Lion show. The girl trainer had one...
grandmaR Says: On our last day, we went to the Indian Mound Museum, which is a Fort Walton Beach city museum ($2 each for old people - currently the price we would have had to pay was $4.50 each plus tax). In addition to the actual museum the Indian mound itself dating to 800 A.D. is a...
Rent A Camping Cabin Beside The Gulf
TravisMcGee Says: The beaches around Fort Walton Beach are among the most beautiful in the USA. This beauty reflects in pretty high prices for motel and hotel rooms on or near the beach. I've discovered that the camping cabins at Grayton Beach State Park are an economical alternative. They...

Sealand: Named for a Container Ship
grandmaR Says: When we went to the condo meeting to tell us about the area, the lady that was doing the presentation recommended this restaurant as one that had early bird specials and was reasonable. The restaurant was named for the ship (probably one of the Sealand-Marek group) that...

Rick's Crab Trap: No Catch for the Early Bird
grandmaR Says: We drove back to Fort Walton Beach, and tried Rick's for the Early Bird Specials. On the way, we drove by "Okaloosa on Ice" which is an outdoor ice rink set up in a local park from Nov 18th to Jan 2nd. We had seen the Early Bird sign when we tried before to go here for...
Sonny's Barbecue - no relation to Daddy's!
Ewingjr98 Says: Sonny's is a good barbecue joint located throughout Florida. We have eaten a few times at the Fort Walton Beach location as an alternative to Daddy's barbecue. Sonny's is not quite the cabin-in-the-woods that you get from Daddy's, but that also means it is a bit nicer,...
Old Bay Steamer: Crab and shrimp to die for....!
cleermont Says: The Old Bay Steamer is a "shouldn't miss" place to go for fabulous crab and shrimp. There's no fried food on the menu, but you can hardly eat all you do get with your order. The standard accompaniment is their house salad, corn on the cob, and steamed potatoes. The food is...
Ewingjr98 Says: One of the most fun places in FWB, Howl at the Moon features dueling pianos with huge crowds, expensive drinks and a $10-per-person cover charge, but it really is worth it! They play a variety of music from funky 70s music like Kung Fu fighting and YMCA to popular modern...

grandmaR Says: Fort Walton Beach is on the coast about halfway between Panama City to the east and Pensacola. We took I-10 across the panhandle of Florida and got off on State Road 85 which is a north-south highway that runs from US 331 in Paxton, through I-10 in Crestview and past Eglin...
grandmaR Says: We got a walking tour brochure from the Indian Temple Mound Museum. I think you can also get one at the Chamber of Commerce. The Walking Tour starts with the Indian Temple Mound and museum at 139 S. E. Miracle Strip Parkway. We did start there, but we didn't walk very much...
tim_cason Says: 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...
grandmaR Says: We've made two trips to visit this museum without seeing everything. The museum is way too big to see all of it in one visit - 291,000 square feet of exhibit space and 37 acres of grounds. This is one of the three largest air museums in the US - the other two are the...
Gulf Islands National Seashore - Naval Live Oaks
grandmaR Says: To get to Naval Live Oaks (an 1,378 acre woodland area in Gulf Breeze, Florida) take U.S. 98 east from Pensacola, Florida. The Naval Live Oaks Area is just east of Gulf Breeze on U.S. 98. But we were coming from the condo meeting in Fort Walton Beach so we went west on US...
grandmaR Says: We saw that in the winter around Christmas, there was ice skating in the park. We didn't try it ourselves but thought the idea of outdoor ice skating in Florida was interesting. The ice skating rink, can accommodate about 100 skaters at a time, is a local holiday favorite....

Honestly, having heard stories of 'The Redneck Rivera', I expected Ft. Walton Beach to be tacky and kind of run-down, and the beach to be nothing special. I was happy to be proven wrong! Our trip......
