Personality Type: Relaxed, down-to-earth, loves the simple things.

30A – The Luxe Creative

Personality Type: Stylish, cultured, a little bougie (in the best way!).

Okaloosa Island – The Free Spirit 
Love wide-open beaches and epic sunsets? Okaloosa Island is the place for you. It’s got a casual, barefoot feel but is still close to the action of Fort Walton and Destin. If you thrive on beach picnics and long walks by the surf, this is your match.
