The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Fort Walton Beach, Florida (FL)

April 18, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

The great outdoors is likely to feature prominently in any vacation to Fort Walton Beach. There are two public golf courses in Fort Walton Beach, The Oaks and The Pines, while championship courses such as the one at Regatta Bay are within easy reach. Sea anglers have the opportunity for some fine shore or boat fishing, hunting down the big game fish which populate the waters off the Florida coast. The more adventurous may wish to go surfing - or even take instruction and perform a parachute jump!

Had such a great experience here! We came first for the Mummy Tomb and ended up doing the Mystic Manor it was so much fun. Mimi was great at giving us our hints and pointing us in the right direction, would have been lost without her! Heard the one in Destin was out of commission but cant wait to do those rooms when they reopen, had such a fun time!

The museum and grounds were happily open, and all staff were knowledgeable and cheerful. There were plenty of exhibits to interest all ages and a few interactive exhibits that were very cool. We enjoyed all of the buildings and would visit again. There is also a gift shop.
