If you're dreaming of sandy toes, salty air, and unforgettable summer nights, the weekly Boardwalk Luau on Okaloosa Island is a must-see experience. This vibrant, family-friendly event brings the spirit of the islands to the Florida Panhandle every Thursday evening, right on the beach.

Held at The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island, the luau features live Polynesian music, hula dancing, and thrilling fire knife performances, all with the Gulf of Mexico as your backdrop. As the sun sets, you’ll be surrounded by glowing tiki torches, rhythmic drums, and smiling faces of both locals and visitors enjoying the magic of the Emerald Coast.


Events like this highlight the lifestyle that makes Okaloosa Island real estate so desirable. From beachfront condos to vacation homes and investment properties, living near the Gulf means more than just beautiful views. It means becoming part of a community that celebrates life outdoors, culture, and connection.

Whether you’re relocating, buying a second home, or exploring vacation rental properties, seeing the community in action helps you understand the unique charm of the area.


The Boardwalk itself is a hub of activity all summer long. Just steps from the beach, you'll find casual dining spots, local boutiques, and one of the longest fishing piers in Florida. After the luau, grab a bite at a beachfront restaurant or stroll along the shore under the stars. There’s no better way to experience the laid-back lifestyle the Emerald Coast is known for.


Considering a move to the Emerald Coast? If you’ve been thinking about buying property near the beach, now is a great time to explore your options. Okaloosa Island offers everything from low-maintenance condos to luxury Gulf-front homes. Plus, nearby cities like Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Mary Esther, and Niceville give you even more variety to choose from, all within a short drive of the island.


Let’s turn your dream of owning property by the water into a reality. As your local expert, I’ll guide you through the buying or selling process with insight, honesty, and real market knowledge.


Plan Your Visit The Boardwalk Luau begins at 6 PM every Thursday during the summer. Admission is free, and early arrival is recommended if you want a front-row seat for the fire dancing. Whether you're here on vacation or considering making the Emerald Coast your home, it's an event that captures the heart of what makes this area so special.
