During sea turtle nesting season, The Emerald Coast CVB/Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council offers Nighttime Educational Beach Walks.

"It is helpful for folks to be aware of sea turtle nesting habits and why some of the turtle species are endangered.

AFS has helped more than 400,000 students and young adults embark on journeys of personal growth through intercultural learning experiences. Participants develop new skills and gain a broader perspective on the world while building meaningful and lasting connections with the people they meet along the way. AFS Participants benefit from becoming a part of the global AFS community—a network of people who share their passion for exploring foreign cultures and connecting with people of diverse backgrounds. During the experience abroad, participants often build close attachments with their host families through daily interaction in the household.
Participants also form deep and meaningful connections with other AFS Participants, who they meet at orientation sessions and activities organized by AFS in the host country.
