What to know
Road to the Beach is split into two 2027 weeks. The 8U to 12U division plays July 11 to 16 and 14U to 18U plays July 18 to 24.
Both pages list Preston Hood Athletic Complex on Jet Drive in Fort Walton Beach and a $795 entry fee. The 14U to 18U page also lists Niceville Softball Complex on Campbell Drive in Niceville.
The event pages have an Event Lodging section with hotel links, but we checked and they publish no housing requirement, so the status is unclear.
