Fort Walton Beach Water Sports, Fishing Tours & Boating

Spend a day fishing out on the big water, or stay on shore and cast a line from the dock. If you don't catch anything, you can always find some fresh seafood at one of the many fine seafood dining establishments. Take to the Blackwater River and spend an afternoon tubing - the kids will love it and you will too. A kayaking or canoeing trip with the kids is a great way to make memories and get a good workout in at the same time. Ride bikes on the beach, ride waves on the water, or spend some time on a championship golf course. With 24 miles of pristine beach front to enjoy, you may never get any of these other activities. Four full sized beachfront parks - Beasley, James Lee, Marler Memorial and Wayside and six beach min parks are all great places to pull out a chair and put up a beach umbrella. All the parks are ADA accessible, and provide showers and restrooms. You will be set for the day, or the week, if you like.
