Traffic
If you want to avoid the worst traffic plan to head to the beach early, get there before 10am, and leave before 4pm. Lots of people are heading to the beach around 12pm and will leave around dinner time, so do your best to avoid being on the road at those time.

Dolphin/Sunset Cruises - Great time to relax, have some drinks, and enjoy the beautiful view of the Emerald Coast
Snorkeling Tours - Go snorkeling and see some wildlife and maybe take home some seashells.
Jet Ski Rentals - Go fast! Lots of fun, especially if the water is calm.
