With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Dothan, 40 miles away, has to offer. Wiregrass Commons Mall should be high up on your list here. Water World and Landmark Park are excellent attractions too. Situated 50 miles away, Niceville is another popular choice. If you swing by, make sure you check out Bluewater Bay Golf Course, Bluewater Bay Resort and Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park.
