Okaloosa County/Greater Fort Walton Beach Area

The sugar sand beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico capture the eyes and hearts of anyone visiting the Florida coast, so it’s no surprise that Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa County have seen consistent growth over the past decade. Many people visited as military officers or tourists but never forgot the gorgeous region and returned to its shores. Besides its natural beauty, there are several other reasons why people choose to call the Emerald Coast home.

Check out the latest edition of Livability Okaloosa County – Greater Fort Walton Beach Area magazine to learn more about why people and companies relocate to this dynamic region. This issue is sponsored by the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce.
