Dozens of charter operators can take you
where the fish are running. While you're
out there, dive or snorkel in the clearest
waters you've ever seen. If you prefer to sit
back and relax, book a boat tour to a host
of beautiful spots. Or if you'd rather propel
through these emerald-green waters, every
type of watercraft from waverunners to
kayaks is available.
Visit family-friendly museums such as
the Air Force Armament Museum and the
Emerald Coast Science Center. Get up close
and personal with native and exotic animals
at the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge Zoo-
logical Park and the Gulfarium Marine
Adventure Park.
Love seafood? Emerald Coast restaurants
deliver only the freshest fare from the Gulf
to your platter. Personal favourite haunts are
in the Arts & Entertainment District in Fort
Walton Beach, the Boardwalk on Okaloosa
Island, and the shops, restaurants and night-
clubs in HarborWalk Village in Destin.
The Emerald Coast offers a unique
combination—a spellbinding setting and a
ton of fun!
