A quiet community nestled between Eglin and the beach

Coastal Beach Military Tourism Scenic Boating Fishing

Shalimar is a small panhandle town just outside Eglin Air Force Base and ten minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. The community enjoys a large coastline on its west side overlooking the inlet where several bayous flow into Choctawhatchee Bay, allowing you to enjoy sunsets over the water every evening. The close proximity to Eglin makes Shalimar a popular spot for military service members to seek off-base housing. With the gulf so close at hand, boating and fishing are extremely popular pastimes, and it’s quite common for locals to head to the beach frequently to take advantage of the sunshine, dining, and nightlife.
