OVERVIEW
With a reported 343 average days of sunshine per year, Fort Walton Beach is a sun lover's paradise. Combine beautiful weather with magnificent beaches, great attractions, dolphins playing in the surf, a host of activities, as well as great food and entertainment, and you have the ideal formula for a perfect vacation.
There is even significant evidence of pirates visiting the area, the most notorious being Billy Bowlegs, between 1500 - 1800; not to mention artifacts dating back thousands of year. Be sure to visit the Indian Temple Mound and Museum which offers glimpses into Indian civilizations of the past 10,000 years.
When it comes to near perfect weather, Fort Walton Beach can top the list. With a moderate climate year round due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and its western Florida location, each season has something special to offer. Winter and summer are the two busiest times of year, although late February and the entire month of March become quite crowded when thousands of spring break students hit the area. In the winter, people from the north enjoy coming south for the warmer temperatures and numerous activities the city has to offer. With so many sunny days, any time of year is perfect for watching the dolphins display their "dancing" abilities in their natural surroundings while you sip on a cool drink.
