Ft. Walton Beach/Okaloosa Island has a more laid-back feel than its glitzy sister to the east so if you are in the mood to slow down a bit make sure you check out the local shops along Miracle Strip Parkway just as you enter Ft Walton Beach. The downtown area is very walkable with a hip coastal vibe. You may also want to check out family-friendly Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island and Uptown Station for more coastal fun!
