Escape to the beach and enjoy the Blue Dolphin condo complex. The Blue Dolphin is a wonderful beach front property on Okaloosa Island in Ft. Walton Beach Florida. You will enjoy staying in this smaller complex directly on the beach. Experience the incredible views and luxury of this condominium where all units overlook the beautiful Gulf of Mexico!
You will enjoy taking advantage of the complimentary beach service during your stay at Blue Dolphin. The umbrella is really nice when you want to spend the entire day at the beach.
The kitchen in our condo is fully equipped so if you want to prepare all of your meals during your stay you may. It is very convenient to run up to the condo for a quick lunch before heading back to the beach.
When you dine out on Okaloosa Island, make sure to visit Old Bay Steamer. They offer steamed seafood by the bucket full, lobster tails, snow crab, king crab & shrimp are the contents of one of their buckets for two. Prepare to get messy enjoying your meal, they often tie bibs around their patrons’ necks. They also offer pasta & steaks for the non-seafood lovers. We always make a point to visit here at least once during our stays in Ft. Walton Beach.
The original Fudpuckers Bar & Grill is also located on Okaloosa Island. Fudpuckers opened in Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island in 1986 and has become a favorite for visitors & locals alike. The younger ones in your group will enjoy the playground & everyone will enjoy the live music. It's a great gathering place for friends & family late in the day to unwind from a busy day of vacationing.
The best pizza on the Island comes from Helen Back. You can pick up their pizza to go or enjoy the back patio on the water.

We enjoy going to the fishing pier on Okaloosa Island, you can actually catch a 100 pounder here. The pier is 1262 feet long & has an octagon at the end so there is room for everyone to fish. I enjoy just tagging along watching the dolphins & wonderful sunsets.
The Boardwalk is home to many clubs & great restaurants. The beach is really great here & we enjoy an occasion game of volleyball there with the locals & guests to our area.
