Get up early
Get up early and enjoy the community’s restaurants, roads and beaches. Many residents are at work, while many visitors sleep in. Crack the dawn, or at least get out before 9, and get a jump on the day.
Eat where the locals eat
Want to find out where the locals eat? Check the parking lots for Okaloosa County plates.
Slow down on bridges
Slow down on the bridges leading to Destin from Fort Walton Beach. There’s a slight rise in the middle, which prevents eastbound drivers from seeing stopped traffic ahead. Of course, “first-timers” are going to want to slow down and stare all around…ITS BEAUTIFIL!
Work out
Want to work out when you’re in town? Ask about weekly passes at gyms and other fitness facilities. Check the FWBchamber.org or destinchamber.com websites for lots of listings.
Check out local information
Check crabisland.com for charters, rentals, and tours. These are all run buy locals so they can certainly give you lots of inside information.
