Watersports and Other Fort Walton Beach Activities
Any time you set your sights on a trip to Fort Walton Beach in the name of vacation, you’re in for a treat when it comes to watersports. Those with a passion for time on the waves will find there is no shortage of options for fun when it comes to pairing time in the water and adrenaline-pumping fun as well. Fortunately, you don’t have to bring all of your own watersport gear when you come to Fort Walton Beach this summer for a sports-focused journey. Instead, head over to Power Up Watersports and rent what you need to turn those adventurous plans into a reality. Power Up Watersports is located at 1201 B Miracle Strip Parkway SE in Fort Walton Beach and is open to the public daily between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. Here, you can easily rent everything from jet skis to pontoon boats that range from 20 to 24 feet in length. Jet skis are great options when you can’t wait to explore the waters directly around Fort Walton Beach at your own pace, or you’re considering exploring Destin Harbor and Crab Island as well. If you’re the type of traveler that always looks to maximize the sporting fun, consider booking a jet ski dolphin tour with the team at Power Up Watersports and combine nature appreciation with your fun on the water.
Check Out the Fort Walton Beach Skate Park
If your travel plans bring you to Fort Walton Beach this summer and your idea of a great day is one spent rolling through jumps and putting your balance skills to the test, making time for a day at the Fort Walton Beach Skate Park is sure to inspire! This inviting stop is located at 126 Jet Drive NW and is open daily from 5:00 am until 10:00 pm. The Fort Walton Beach Skate Park is the perfect place for experienced skaters to work on honing their techniques while those who are new to the sport will enjoy the myriad of options for testing out tricks for the first time.

Either way, it’s worth checking out if skating through a vacation is exactly your style.
