Due to its easy access to waterways, Mary Esther was one of the first areas settled in northwest Florida in the 19th century. Incorporated in 1946, Mary Esther enjoyed its first building boom when the Santa Rosa Mall was built in 1976. Today, the city covers 2 ˝ square miles and is home to approximately 4,500 residents. With its plentiful waterways, Mary Esther is one of the premier destinations for residents and visitors to Florida’s Emerald Coast. The city has 10 parks, including many with boat and sport facilities, and residents have access to 14 beautiful golf courses and other prominent attractions such as the Big Kahuna’s Water & Adventure Park and the Destin History & Fishing Museum, both in nearby Destin. Destin is also home to the fantastic Gator Park, the region’s only alligator attraction. Mary Esther’s neighbor, Fort Walton Beach, hosts the Gulfarium, the nation’s second oldest marine park. Visitors view everything from bottle-nose dolphins to Peruvian penguins. Considering the area’s rich connection with the military, you may also enjoy a visit to the U.S. Air Force Armament Museum, just outside Eglin Air Force Base. Mary Esther residents also enjoy taking part in community events and festivals, which are numerous and diverse. Whether it’s the Days of Wine and Roses or one of the unique Mardi Gras celebrations, residents turn out in force to celebrate at all times of the year. Living in Mary Esther combines the best of the beach with the comfort of a small-town atmosphere.
