About Mary Esther
Tucked along the calm waters of Santa Rosa Sound, Mary Esther sits right between Fort Walton Beach and Navarre. It has a relaxed, suburban feel, where quiet residential streets lead down to the water and sugar-white beaches are only a short drive away. Highway 98 makes getting around the Emerald Coast simple, which is a big plus for daily commuters and military families working at nearby Hurlburt Field.
Life here revolves around the water and everyday convenience. On weekends, residents head out on the sound to boat, fish, and paddleboard, or spend the afternoon at local waterfront parks. Families also benefit from the strong Okaloosa County school system and quiet neighborhoods. It is a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy the Florida coast while keeping a laid-back home base.
