Sun, sand, shopping and good food. You couldn't ask for a better beach party!…read more The boardwalk at Fort Walton Beach near Okaloosa Island is a fun location that opens out onto the beach. There is a kite shop, a gelato shop, several boutiques and restaurants. The bottom area is shaded with several different seating areas. There is a huge parking lot, but it can be really crowded. We have always been able to find a parking space, but sometimes it has been way in the back. There are handicap parking spaces near the front. The pier is located next door. With the beach, ocean and three sand volleyball courts, in the front, and the pier next door you could make a day of it at The Boardwalk. At night, AJs, one of the restaurants, offers live music. Every Wednesday night at nine pm there is a fireworks show shot from the pier. The Boardwalk also offers other events throughout the year.

We arrived to an incredible view of the beach and a fresh box of Okaloosa Donuts waiting for us. The room was sparkling clean and had everything we needed for our stay. If we had stayed longer, we probably would have taken advantage of the fully stocked kitchen, but we wanted to check out as many of the local restaurants as we could We had such a nice time and will be back soon!
