Fort Walton Beach & Destin - 8mm Footage - 1950's and 1960's 

My momma was one of those cheerleaders at the end. Such a suppurb video my friend. Thsnks so very for sharing this treasure👍🤙🤠🎸

I lived in Destin for 7 years, only 19 so wasn't around during the 60's, awesome to see this.

Thanks for posting a great video that brought back a lot of fun memories for me. My dad was stationed at Eglin AFB from 1958-1965 and those were some of the best times of my life. The music fit the footage perfectly.

The footage of the Choctawhatchee Style Marchers was from 1969/1970 and was filmed at Niceville HS stadium. I was in the Drum corps and that was the first year that the Drum corps wore the white uniforms.

Awesome to still have this great footage. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up there -- makes me cry

The vessel between 2:09 and 2:17 is none other than the former Coast Guard 83-foot wooden patrol boat WPB-83499, turned fishing vessel "Pandora".

Very cool.

@MickR55 I am glad that you enjoyed it! How did you come across the video if you don't mind me asking? If you'd like to see more of my vintage Fort Walton Beach content, search Facebook for "Fort Walton Beach: What We Did". Thanks again!

Awesome video. I love FWB. Shame how developed and pimped out it's becoming.

Beautiful Before all the Hi rise hotels stupid rules over crowded tourist back when you could camp on the beach and enjoy what God created in peace

I'm trying to find a picture of my father Marvin Langley parachuting. Looks like he it walking highline
