About
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Walton Beach sits at 3 Miracle Strip Parkway SW, right at the mainland end of the Brooks Bridge. That puts Okaloosa Island’s beaches under two miles away across the bridge, while Fort Walton Beach Landing Park and the Indian Temple Mound Museum are both within about half a mile on foot. Santa Rosa Sound is a two-minute walk.
Built in 2009, the four-story hotel has 68 rooms and an Art Deco look that stands out on this part of US-98. Rooms include a mini refrigerator, microwave, work desk and flat-screen TV, and the property is non-smoking throughout. Accessible rooms are available, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.
The free Bright Side breakfast includes hot items, and the outdoor pool has shaded seating and gazebo grill areas. There is a fitness center and a business center, and Wi-Fi is complimentary. Self parking is free, with room for RVs and buses. Pets are welcome, up to two per room, for a nightly fee.
Its position makes this a good pick for travelers who want to walk to the downtown waterfront, restaurants and the Landing’s events while staying a few minutes from the Gulfarium, the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier and the Boardwalk. HarborWalk Village in Destin and Big Kahuna’s are an easy drive east. The parkway outside is lined with restaurants for easy dinners.
