OT: fort Walton beach?

[johnson86-1]

Just got offered a family friends condo for next weekend in fort Walton beach. Have never been to fort Walton and basically didn't know it existed.

Question 1: where to eat? There good non tourist trap places there? Or would we drive to west part of destin to eat?

Quesyion 2? If we get bored with the beach or have bad weather, is. there a fun place to post up and watch football during the day? Or at night?

Old Bay Steamer is excellent. Ft Walton (Okaloosa Island) is 7 miles from Destin. Plenty of places to go. I like Boshamps in Destin.

Sealand used to have good food, but was kind of dumpy. A couple of weeks ago we noticed they renovated the outside so it may be worth a look. And agree with EAV on Boshamps.

Here's my advice, Circa 1991:

Try to stay at the Pink Flamingo Hotel or the Blue Horizon (aka The Blue *****). Both are about $49 bucks a night and the maids look the other way on 14 people staying in the same room.

If you for some reason need to shower, just grab some soap off the maid's cart and go the the shower with the pull string out by the beach. Much cleaner than the ones indoors.

For breakfast, the McDonalds will be offering 10 cheeseburgers for $5. Grab 10 and space them out over a few hours and they should be all you'll need to eat for the day. They start serving them at 10:30 AM if for some reason you're up like really early.

For dinner I'd recommend Cash's. They'll probably be showing the Tyson fight on the big projector. They'll have 50 cent PBR's or Milwaukee's Best on draft, and if you can get your gf to enter the wet T-shirt contest she can drink for free. No idea if they serve food, but if Brittany's behind the bar her ex-boyfriend can get you some pretty decent weed. Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES talk any **** to the smoking hot brunette standing by the back entrance. She's a cop and if she arrests you for MIP the judge doesn't get back in town until Tuesday morning so you're 17'd.

Alvin's Island has some good cheap souvenirs. I'd recommend a nice set of shot glasses or maybe an airbrushed T-shirt.

Hope this helps and Hail State!

Several good places in FWB. I'm assuming if you're in a condo that you're on Okaloosa island. On the island, there is high tide and old bay steamer for seafood. High tide is more casual and kid friendly than old bay steamer. High tide is one of my favorite places in FWB. Also on the island, is a place called Helen back. It's a dive bar type place but good pizza and it's on the intercoastal, so it has a water view. Not on the island is my favorite wing place. It's called Buffalo reef. It's a good place to check out a game. I lived in FWB for several years. Graduated from high school there and moved back for a bit after college. It's a fun place.

Saturday nights are Wet Tshirt nights and remember to remove the Cash's bumper sticker before the sun hits it and it cannot be removed.

Helen Back is the Dave's Darkhorse of FWB.

The ones in Navarre and Pensacola are first level suck.
