About this event
There's no better way to cap off a perfect beach day than settling into the sand for a free movie under the stars. Every Tuesday evening throughout summer 2026, The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island transforms its beachfront into an open-air cinema, projecting family-friendly films on a giant screen as the Gulf breeze rolls in.
Bring a blanket or low beach chair, grab dinner from one of the Boardwalk's waterfront restaurants, and enjoy the show with your crew. It's completely free, totally casual, and one of those experiences that'll have the kids talking about their beach vacation for years. Movies typically start at 8 PM — arrive a bit early to grab your spot on the sand.
Best for: Families with children, couples, anyone who wants a free and memorable evening activity
What to expect: Free outdoor movie screenings on the beach; family-friendly film selections; food and drinks available from Boardwalk restaurants; casual BYO blanket/chair atmosphere
Planning tip: Arrive by 7:30 PM to grab a prime spot on the sand. Check The Boardwalk's social media the day of for the film title.
Cost: Free admission. Food and beverages available for purchase at Boardwalk restaurants.
