This is a true old Florida beach neighborhood. Quiet streets are great for an evening stroll, plus wide beaches and some great music venues. Hibiscus is always my favorite for weekend brunch and tunes, but catch the music at the Red Bar for a more exciting scene. More

We vacationed in blue mountain beach in 2010 and a local recommended the Red Bar. We loved it and had to go back this year while vacationing in Fort Walton Beach.

Love this park. It has rare dune lakes which are protected. This is why high rises have not been built here. It is quite, not crowded. U have to pay $4 to enter the park and it is worth it. More
