Niceville is a beautiful town inland across the Choctawhatchee Bay from Destin, Florida in the state’s panhandle. Surrounded by calm bay waters, long rivers and many lakes, Niceville is the perfect place to enjoy a vacation near the water. Some of the best beaches in the panhandle are just a couple of minutes away in Destin and on Okaloosa Island. If you want to spend a day cruising around the bays and venture out into the Gulf of Mexico, pontoon boats, powerboats and other watercraft are available for rental. Do you like fishing? Well, you have come to the right place. Just south of Niceville across the Choctawhatchee Bay is Destin, the self proclaimed “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village.” Destin has the largest charter boat fleet in the state. There are many piers in the area which allow fishing as well. The bay also provides a great place to go kayaking or snorkeling. If you are interested in the history of the area you will want to check out the Indian Temple Mound and Museum and the U.S. Air Force Armament Museum both just south of Niceville. Tennis courts and golf courses are available for those who want to enjoy sports on their vacation. Niceville denotes a quiet, peaceful vacation from which you will return feeling relaxed and satisfied.
