    The Boardwalk, Okaloosa Island, 1450 Miracle Strip Pkwy SE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548, USA

    Pelican Plunge is where crazy people take a dip in the ocean just for kicks and maybe hypothermia.  LOL!!!!
    This is actually a fun event and is free to watch.  You can TAKE the dip for $24 (which supports local charities!) and party up afterwards.  This is a very quick walk from Waterscape (beachfront or sidewalk!).  It happens at the pier which you can see from our beachfront.
    Take a walk over and check this out!!  🙂
