When visiting Fort Walton Beach, Florida, many people focus on the beautiful beaches, golf, shopping and fishing that can be found in the area. However, most of these are daytime activities. Fortunately, your Fort Walton beach house will also be near some of the best nightlife hotspots in the area. Fort Walton houses are in close proximity to the clubs in the downtown area, as well as hotspots in Destin.
The Block
The Block is located just a few miles north of the beaches. It is actually two clubs in one, the Country Block and the Cell Block. The Country Block features country music and is one of the few country dance clubs in the area. They often have live music from country stars such as Blake Shelton, Craig Morgan and Mark Chesnutt. The Cell Block is located in the same complex and features dance and Top 40 music.
International Lounge
Just north of the Block is the International Lounge. This is primarily a karaoke bar and pool hall. A more relaxed setting than some of the other hotspots, but fun nevertheless. Singing and playing pool with friends is a great way to end a day of fun in the sun.
Nighttown
Nighttown is a Destin tradition. Located just a few miles east of your Fort Walton Beach house, Nighttown has been the party destination on the Island for the last thirty years. The club is open only Friday and Saturday nights between 9pm and 4am. This is an adults only club, and only those over the age of 21 are admitted.
The Swamp
A few miles further east and you will find The Swamp. This is more like a rave than a club. The dance floor is always packed with rock and MTV favorites. Live music is available almost every night with performances by locally and nationally famous singers and bands. Some past highlights have been HoobaStank, Papa Roach, Fuel and Collective Soul. The Swamp is open for those 18 and up.
Howl at the Moon
Howl at the Moon is right next door to the Swamp. This is a relaxed bar with numerous tables for patrons to sit and enjoy the dueling rock pianos. Mainstream music allows the customers to sing along and the atmosphere encourages people to relax and make new friends. Even the staff becomes involved in the entertainment during the Show Time routines. During the pianist's down time, a DJ keeps the energy up.
If you want to fully enjoy the fun at Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding area, a beach house is an excellent choice.
