    Fort Walton Beach is really know for two things. The first is the Fort which the city is named after and the second is the Beach. Both of which ironically worked their way into the name of the city. I had the pleasure to visit Fort Walton Beach with my family and it was really an adventure. The beaches were some of the most beautiful I had ever seen and I grew up in Florida where going to the beach was a normal thing. Perhaps what really caught my attention was the Air Force Armament Museum. This museum is one of the largest in the south east and is really an impressive sight. The museum is owned by the US Air Force is admittance is free of charge for all who want to visit. There are over 25 different aircraft that call this museum their home. Some are more impressive than others but all of the are special. The centerpiece of the museum is the SR-71 and is more formally known as the Blackbird. This impressive ships it has a wing span of 55 feet and a length of 107 feet. What is really impressive about this plane is how high and fast it can fly. The plane can reach heights of 85,000 feet and speeds of over 2000 miles per hour. An interesting fact about the plane is that the landing gear is too small to support the weight of the plane when its fuel tanks are full. The plane has to take off with near empty fuel tanks and be fill midair by a tanker. The museum is a great place to visit and I would recommend it to everyone.

    Okaloosa Island, Fort Walton BeachOkaloosa Island, Fort Walton Beach
    The beach at Fort Walton Beach is rather spectacular. It is just minutes away from Destin which without a doubt is one of the most popular beaches on the gulf. There are few places that have sand whiter and thinner than on these beaches. Destin is a great beach but can be very busy. If you take the short drive or decided to stay in Fort Walton Beach then Okaloosa Island will be your beach. Okaloosa Island is just second away from Fort Walton across a small bridge. The island is only about 500 meters wide and you can see water on both sides of you if you stand in the right spot. Once you head over the bridge I98 will bring you along the main part of the island and to Fort Walton beach park. This will most likely be the busiest part and there is beach on both sides of the road. If you get off of 98 and take a right at Santa Rosa Blvd you can follow that to another beach access that will most likely not be a busy. Or go further down the island where the beach will be all yours. Fort Walton Beach is a great place to go for a vacation. Forget all you have to get done and just enjoy the smell and sounds of the ocean.
