Welcome to Northwest Florida Outdoor Adventure where we’re dedicated to helping you discover some of the best kept secrets of the Emerald Coast. Our area has some of the best beaches in the world with sugar-white sand composed almost entirely of Appalachian quartz crystal and, true to its namesake, beautiful emerald green waters.
Beautiful view from Okaloosa Island
And while our beaches offer a variety of activities ranging from snorkeling, salt water fishing, surfing, SUPing, swimming, jet skiing, sailing, and MORE, our inland areas have just as much to offer in the way of hiking, fresh water fishing, camping, kayaking, canoeing, tubing and cycling. In fact, there’s so much to do in Northwest Florida that you may just have to move here in order to do it all. 
So if you’re new to the Emerald Coast and not sure where to start, spend a few minutes exploring our site and discover what the Florida panhandle has to offer. Just don’t forget the sunscreen before heading out.

Wonderful site. I always love reading your articles.
If I wanna go play in the great outdoors, your site tells me the best places to do that!
Beverly, this is BEAUTIFUL! I am so thrilled you finally got it up! Let me know if I can do anything to help. I’ll be moving to Gainesville on May 1, so we’ll be closer. I’m going to try to plan a trip to the nature coast sometime this summer. Hopefully, we can go somewhere together, since you know all the best spots.
Hi Bev,
What a lovely place! So much cooling effect, exactly where I want to be right now.
All the best,

Where was the heading picture taken? The woman in the kayak in the beautiful blue clear water.
Austin, that was taken at Cypress Springs on Holmes Creek. It’s located northeast of Panama City. Oh, and the woman in the kayak is me.
Beautiful.
Is the Timberlake Bike Trail Recreation Area the only bike trails on Eglin Reservation? I see it is next door to where I lived in FWB quite a few years back.
Yes, it is located on the Eglin Reservation just a few miles up the road from the Fairgrounds and new courthouse.
