Fort Walton Beach is a unique coastal community whose development has been influenced by its historic connections to the military, commercial fishing, and tourism. The small but vibrant Downtown district along Miracle Strip Parkway is packed with local-favorite shops and restaurants, from the German-influence pizzeria Fokker’s Pub to the Downtown FWB Farmers Market to the historic Cinema Plus movie theater. Farther inland, the popular Uptown Station shopping center offers even more shopping and dining options.
The close proximity to Okaloosa Island makes it easy to take part in regional pastimes like boating and fishing, and a day at the beach is never more than a few minutes away. The north side of town borders Eglin Air Force Base, making Fort Walton beach a popular choice for military personnel seeking off-base housing, and many former armed service members choose to move back. The local rental market features a large number of extremely affordable apartments, houses, and condos, making it easy to experience the unique atmosphere no matter your budget.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
