The
City of Fort Walton Beach, home to approximately
22,000 people, was first created and chartered
as a municipality in 1937. Though Fort
Walton Beach is a relatively young city,
its history actually goes back thousands
of years. Tourists, resort hotels, and
the waterfront have been a part of Fort
Walton Beach since its earliest days.

Tourists
came from the North, Midwest, and Southeast to
spend months at a time at several of these full-service,
American plan hotels on the shores of the Santa
Rosa Sound. Dancing nightly in an over-the-water
pavilion (where Fort Walton Landing is today),
taking a water taxi from the hotel docks back
and forth across the Sound to the beach, chartering
fishing trips in the gulf and bay, receiving ice
and mail by boat from Pensacola, and shopping
in stores built over the water, visitors and locals
alike enjoyed the relaxed lifestyle for which
Fort Walton was famous. There is no shortage of
things to see and do in the Destin * Fort Walton
Beach * Okaloosa Island area. Our collection of
local attractions and places of interest offers
visitors everything from amusements to museums
with themes ranging from marine to military. The
Emerald Coast Science Center, the Ft. Walton Beach
Art Museum, the Gulfarium (America’s second oldest
marine park ), the Indian Temple Mound And Museum,
are just a few of the attractions that are waiting
for your visit. In
the last two decades, growth in Fort Walton Beach
has slowed, and today the City looks towards innovative
and exciting ways to bring the spirit of yesterday
into the plans of today and tomorrow.

Activities continue on
the banks of the Santa Rosa Sound, and
every June, the notorious Billy Bowlegs
returns for a fortnight of merriment and
fun. The City sponsors quarterly Sunday
in the Park events at the spot where there
was once an over-the-water pavilion. In
1997, Fort Walton Beach was honored to
be named by Money magazine as #10 Best
Place to Live among the 300 largest metropolitan
areas in the U.S.A. and more recently
it was picked as the #1 Beach in America
by USA Today readers and selected for
the 6th year in a row as the best Beach
in the South and Top Family Destination
by Southern Living Readers. Come for a
visit--we think you'll understand why!
