Island Wine & Liquor Mart is located right on the Gulf Breeze Parkway in a strip mall with many other stores and restaurants. I stopped by while driving over to Fort Walton beach one evening and was impressed by the selection, especially in an area that is typically a beer wasteland.

The craft beer section of this store is located in the rear, towards the right. They have several coolers of craft and many room temperature shelves. There are the typical nationally distributed craft breweries, along with a nice selection of locals and Belgians. Most of the stock seemed fresh, at least dust free.

While I didn't probe too much with respect to the staff's craft beer knowledge, they were friendly and helpful whenever I asked.

Prices seem similar to everything else I found in the area. Noting to go out of your way for, but nice if you are in the area.
