The Fort Walton Beach center is approximately the area of Indian Temple Mound and Museum and the area of Emerald Coast Science Center.

Located on Florida's Panhandle, Fort Walton Beach is the perfect getaway for families looking for white sand beaches and emerald waters. Because of its location along the Gulf of Mexico, you'll find much calmer waters here than those along the eastern shores of Florida that border the Atlantic Ocean. So what makes the sand here so white? It's created by quartz crystals from the Appalachian Mountains. They were brought here by the Apalachicola River that ran from there down to the Gulf of Mexico. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they are comfortable to walk on, though you'll likely hear a squeaking sound as you walk. More from this guide...

Best Time of Year to Visit Fort Walton Beach, FL

If you want to avoid the hot humidity of summer but still go when it's warm enough to enjoy the beach, April to June and September through October are the best times to visit. Just note that you're likely to run into families on spring break if you head there in late March and April, which can add to the cost of accommodations and how crowded the beach is. Also, seasonal amenities often don't open until May or June, so you might miss out. Highs in April usually hit around 77 degrees, while May highs hit about 84 and June highs around 89. Though the temperatures are high in June, it's a bit of a drier heat than July and August, making it more bearable. September high temperatures are about 87 while October temperatures land at about 80 with humidity dropping in late September. Note that the water temperatures are a little cool in April in May. Many visitors mention that the water is much more enjoyable June through October.

The high temperatures and humidity of July and August make the area a little less comfortable. Also, once school lets out, the beaches become crowded with vacationers, making May a great time to go to avoid spring breakers, summer vacationers, and high hotel prices. If you're not planning on going in the water and just want to enjoy walking along the beach, you can save money on hotels by booking rooms in the winter. Typical highs land around 60 degrees with lows around 40, making it very comfortable to wear a light jacket and look for seashells during the day.
