If you are passing through Ft. Walton Beach this season. Our plan A was the free docks at Ft Walton Beach Landing Park. However, passing close by it looks like the entire park is a construction area and the docks are temporarily disconnected from shore. You could still probably tie up there as a safe refuge from the weather.

As of 10/10/23, the free docks at Fort Walton Landing are not available for use. The adjacent city park is undergoing extensive renovation and access to land via the water in this area is not possible, even if you elect to anchor nearby. As a local resident, I will continue to monitor the progress of this project and post word of a completion date as soon as one is made public.

There are red and white signs posted that say No Overnight Dockage Allowed. There are also signs that say Dock Closes at 10 pm. However, upon arrival at the dock we called the police department number and let them know we were there but would be off the boat for awhile. The young lady on the phone wanted to know if we would like to stay the night. We said yes, and she commenced to ask many questions: make and model of boat, color of boat, registration number, my phone number. She said the SGT on duty would grant permission for 24 hour stay. If there was a problem and we could not stay, they would call back. She also said that Chief of police could extend stay to 48 hours if we could not leave. So we stayed the night on the dock.
