Grotto “Spookeasy” & Fall Escape: Halloween at The Island Resort — Oct 2025
While much of the country is slipping into sweater weather, The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach is holding onto summer just a little longer. From September through early November, the Gulf remains warm, the beaches are blissfully quiet, and the sunsets are pure magic. It’s the perfect blend of summer ease and autumn charm.
The Island Resort makes an ideal home base for an off-season escape. This fall, guests can take advantage of the Fall Escape package, which includes a $50 dining credit on stays of two nights or more — perfect for savoring Gulf-front meals under golden skies and enjoying the slower pace after the summer rush.
To wrap up the season in style, the resort is also hosting a Halloween-themed celebration on October 30-31. Their iconic Grotto swim-up bar will transform into a coastal “Spookeasy,” complete with themed cocktails like the Fright Night in the Grotto – a mix of Jägermeister, tequila, citrus, and a caramelized orange slice – plus other spooky sips like the Vampire’s Kiss, Skeleton Key, and Ghostbuster.
