A Top 10 Florida Beach Bar with a personality as distinctive as its architecture: you can’t miss the pagodas as you drive down Okaloosa Island.

Multiple bars, a volleyball court, paddleboarding, and events year-round. The newer sections sit elevated (a visible record of updated hurricane codes), but the spirit remains unchanged.
