Climate   Time Zone  Transportation  

 

NW Florida's Gulf cost beach communities of: Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, Sandestin, Seaside, South Walton and Navarre.

100 Miles of Pristine Northwest Florida Panhandle Beaches!
Newcomers and visitors discover what permanent residents already know; what a wonderful place it is to bring a family.

No longer a well-kept secret, the "Miracle Strip" as the area is also known, offers natural, unspoiled, sugar-white sandy beaches that are some of the most beautiful in the world.

Okaloosa County encompasses an
area of 1,300 square miles, including 59 miles of inland waters-all dedicated to your "fun in the sun."

Walton County, bordering the state of Alabama and spanning an area of 1,028 square miles, is unspoiled land dotted with lakes, rivers, streams, trees and 28 miles of white, sand Gulf beaches.
 

Climate
Destin Florida BeachesThe Emerald Coast's balmy subtropical climate is one of the area's most valued assets.  An average annual climate of 67.2 degrees provides just enough of a change in the temperature to mark the passing of four mild seasons.

High temperatures in the summer range from 80 to 91 degrees, and winter highs range from 50 to 75.  Rainfall averages between 50 and 60 days per year, so few days are without sunshine for year-round outdoor activities.

 

Time Zone
Destin Florida BeachPerhaps one of the most unrecognized attributes of the Emerald Coast is it's leisurely pace.  Unlike the majority of the state, the northwest panhandle of Florida resides in the central time zone!

 

Transportation
Destin Florida - Destin FloridaGetting to these beautiful sunny communities is easy, as an excellent network of highways provides easy access to and from the east, west and north.

Air travel to the area is provided by the Okaloosa County Regional Airport, a commercial airport located on State Road 85 between Fort Walton Beach and Niceville.  Additional regional service is available at the Pensacola Regional Airport.

The Intercoastal Waterway allows commercial and recreational passage from Brownsville, Texas to the west and Apalachicola to the east.  The Intercoastal route passes through Fort Walton Beach along the shores of Santa Rosa Sound and onto Choctawhatchee Bay.
