Enjoy some of Florida’s best surfing in Fort Walton Beach! Pick up a board and gear (or even take lessons) from local outfitters like Fluid Surf Shop or Dog House Surf Shop, then hit up famously good surfing spots like Dead Man’s near Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park and Okaloosa Island Pier, or outside of the Blue Horizon Motel near Brooks Bridge.
