Emerald Coast Guide
Niceville
Niceville sits on the edge of Boggy Bayou and the Choctawhatchee Bay, a welcoming mid-size city with excellent schools, a strong sense of community, and a dining and shopping scene that locals are rightly proud of. It's one of the most livable spots on the Emerald Coast — and one of the most overlooked by visitors.
