Good and Bad - 12/28/2007
The quality of life here is lively I suppose. If you enjoy nightlife there are clubs you can go out to that are close by.

(And, no, Fort Walton Beach is not in Walton County. A little confusing, huh?!)
The Beaches of South Walton are connected by 18 mile "Scenic Highway 30A".
A broad range of factors make South Walton County one of the most unique and desirable places in all
