The 10 Best Things to do Good for Big Groups in Fort Walton Beach, Florida (FL)
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!

Very easy rental experience. The staff were helpful with answering questions I had about the area, and let me know some events going on that I was unaware of. We had a full day rental. We stayed at the condos next door and literally walked 5 minutes from the condo to the boat. The boat seated all 12 of us comfortably, and was easy to handle both when underway and when anchoring/beaching. We rented the "Bently"

Our family of 8 had so much fun with Kasey & Ethan learning how to build sandcastles. Everyone from 4 years old to grandparents enjoyed the lessons, they made it so fun & time flew by. It’s hard to keep a 4 year old interested but Kasey went over & above & our little guy NEVER got bored! Can’t wait to build more castles with the knowledge we learned, totally with the money & time! Would recommend to anyone!

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!
