With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Niceville, 40 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Bluewater Bay Golf Course, Bluewater Bay Resort and Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park. The locals are also likely to point you toward Milton, 45 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Adventures Unlimited Outdoor Center. (But we’re also big fans of Blackwater Heritage State Trail and Tanglewood Golf and Country Club.)
