Shalimar FL

With a population of just over 700, Shalimar is a small community town situated in Okaloosa County. Despite its small size, it has plenty to offer its residents, particularly if the outdoor lifestyle is what draws you in.

The Gulf Coast is renowned for its white powder sand beaches and there are plenty in close proximity. When living in Shalimar, you can take advantage of living in a small community, but with all the amenities you could ever wish for a short drive away.

Close to Destin

Shalimar is less than seven miles from Destin, a much larger town with a bustling nightlife and full of activities. If you want urban conveniences, Destin has it all.

In addition to urban life, Destin also boasts gorgeous beaches filled with a plethora of water sports, as well as the Destin Boardwalk, a place jam-packed with shopping, eating, and entertainment options.

Speaking of shopping, you will be hard pushed to find better options elsewhere. So, if you live in Shalimar, you will have amazing stores and boutiques right at your fingertips.

A Golf Lover’s Delight

Golf lovers will particularly appreciate living here, as there are several challenging and world-renowned golf courses in the area. Shalimar itself has had its own course, the Shalimar Pointe Golf and Country Club. Whether you are an enthusiastic amateur or a seasoned pro, you will find something to suit your experience level.

Enjoy the Parks

Shalimar has two parks, Meigs Park, and Combs Park. Both offer the opportunity to take a gentle stroll and enjoy the view. Combs Park in particular is a great spot for the community to get together on a summer evening. It has children’s play areas, BBQ/picnic spots, basketball and volleyball courts, and outdoor exercise equipment.

Life on the Water

One thing is for sure, the area is teeming with underwater life. This makes it a prime spot for fishing enthusiasts. There are many day tours allowing you to discover the best fishing areas, or you can take your own boat onto the water, relax, and fish to your heart’s content.

Other water-based activities are also available nearby. You can take up paddle boarding, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, and kayaking, all locally. This makes Shalimar a great place to live if you love fresh sea air, dolphins, and water sports.

Shalimar is an ideal location because it benefits from having all the touristic amenities within a short distance, without suffering the issues that mass tourism brings. It is in that sweet spot between busier towns where a close community vibe can be experienced without the hassle of dealing with hordes of out-of-towners all the time. Shalimar is a great destination for young families, or an older generation that is seeking a peaceful, safe lifestyle that is close to the water.
