A city of around 13,000 residents in Florida’s Okaloosa County, Niceville, with Destin and Fort Walton Beach, makes up one of the largest population centers in the otherwise rural panhandle. The main attractions in the city are Boggy Bayou, Gulf of Mexico, and Choctawhatchee Bay.

Niceville typically appeals to visitors looking to enjoy its relatively undeveloped beauty and a slower pace of life than is often found on the State’s Atlantic coast destinations like Miami and Daytona Beach.

Fishing and watersports are the most popular activities here, but there are various historical and cultural attractions nearby as well.
