In Fort Walton Beach, that secret would have to be <strong>Aunt Martha&#8217;s Bed and Breakfast</strong>. This beautiful B&#038;B, nestled among 300 year old oak trees, is a fairly new construction, but was designed with the atmosphere of an older home. The porch with its wicker chairs and rockers provide a charming place to relax and get away from it all. Wake up to coffee as early as 7:15 am, while you wait for one of the best breakfasts you&#8217;ve ever had. Breakfast starts the day off with delicious offerings such as fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, tasty grits and even bread pudding. The generous servings will quench your appetite until well after lunch time. Aunt Martha&#8217;s is a great value, on top of providing a beautifully designed location to get away from it all.</p><p>Though there are many <strong>great restaurants</strong> to choose from in Fort Walton Beach, there are definitely some favorites. <strong>Big City Bistro</strong> has earned a reputation for great service and excellent food.
