Gulfarium

The
Fort Walton Beach area has more possibilities than the average
family could ever take advantage of in a single week's vacation.
For those willing to venture beyond the sandy shores there are
plenty of attractions - from theme parks and museums to water
parks and mini golf courses. For the more adventurous types,
there is parasailing, diving, windsurfing, cart racing and bungee
jumping. Vacationers can also rent a sailboat or powerboat,
go on a Dophin cruise or take a glass bottom boat excursion.
See the directory below for descriptions, directions and contact
info for the Destin - Fort Walton Beach area. |
