We went to Fort Walton Beach Florida last week and I highly recommend it. The international Seashore at Ookaloosa Island national Park is wonderful for people who are elderly or disabled or anyone with kids. Once you get to the beach,it is easy to get into the water and there are no waves to knock you down. You can have shallow water or go swim out to deeper water.  They do have restrooms to change in as well as a shower to wash off with. No fee is required. This area is so close to so many fun things and there are restaurants that will suit everyone.Close to Eglin Air Force Base and their free Armament Museum ,where you can see all kinds of planes and helicopters that are used by the military. And it is close to Navarre and Niceville,where you can enjoy a beautiful walk at the Turkey Creek Park. And if you love swimming in beautiful springs,you are very close to Ponce de León Springs and Morrison Springs!

I want to spend the night in a room next to the ocean, wake up early and walk the beach with a coffee!  I am a full time caregiver.
