Popular activities on Okaloosa Island
With pristine beaches, water sports, and awesome family-friendly attractions, it's not hard to imagine why families return to Okaloosa Island year after year. Pack a picnic and cool beverages and head out for a beach day. Wrangle up everyone for a game of volleyball on sand so clean it squeaks or lie low and bronze your skin while indulging in a gripping novel.
Visitors of all ages love the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, where you can see turtles, sharks, gators, and more, plus dolphins and trainers showing off their tricks! Come evening time, walk to the dock to watch fishermen reel in their catches and watch the sunset color the sky. If it looks like fun, rent some gear and cast for yourself, then take your catch to one of the local restaurants and have it cooked up for you!
