We enjoyed our time there as well. Spent a day at crab island drinking in the water, ate tons of great seafood and spent almost every day with our feet in the ocean. The water was clear for us every day but we were in Miramar Beach so idk if that is usually clearer than Okaloosa. We took a trip down to the Gulf Island National Shores past Navarre and watched the sun set over the Santa Rosa Sound and Escambia Bay. There were three restaurants within walking distance of our house and they were all solid. Pompano Joe’s was surprisingly good. Dewey Destins was pretty good as well, we didn’t make it to the Porch unfortunately. The wife made me go to the Harbor Walk below the Emerald Grande but I ended up enjoying it because you could walk around with booze and one of the bars had a Blink 182 tribute band playing above the boardwalk so I posted up there and listened to the entire set. She also made me go to Baytowne Wharf which I didn’t enjoy, although we watched the sunset over Choctawhatchee Bay at the end of their boardwalk and that was gorgeous. Hope I get the chance to go back soon!
