While football season kicks off across the country, The Island Resort at Fort Walton Beach is keeping the party poolside at the Cabana Bar. Every Saturday through Monday, guests can enjoy Football Game Day Specials during all live broadcast games, complete with bold cocktails, craveable bites, and a laid-back vibe that feels like summer never left. Tucked between the resort’s Grotto and Cabana pools, the open-air Cabana Bar is open to the public and offering $10 pool passes, giving fans a chance to enjoy the game in a relaxed, coastal setting. The themed drink menu brings the spirit of the season to life with cocktails like the Tequila Tailgate, Seminole Spirit, and Roll Tide on the Rocks, plus frozen favorites like the Purple Tiger Stripe and Hurricane Freeze – each one a nod to college football pride. On the food front, it’s all about elevated game-day classics. Guests can dig into Buffalo Chicken Dip with fresh veggies and pita, Bavarian Pretzel Sticks with beer cheese, boneless wings, cheese curds, and a pizza-and-draft combo that’s perfect for sharing with your crew. Whether you're repping your alma mater or just in it for the snacks, The Island Resort is the ultimate spot to cheer, chill and enjoy the game all season long.
