A New Cadillac Experience Has Arrived on the Emerald Coast

Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding Emerald Coast now have a premier destination for luxury vehicle shoppers. Step One Cadillac Fort Walton Beach is officially open, bringing the full Cadillac lineup, including the bold new electric LYRIQ, the commanding Escalade, and the athletic CT5 — to 329 Miracle Strip Pkwy SW.

This didn’t happen overnight. Opening a new dealership takes an entire team — from the people on the showroom floor to the technicians in the service bays to the colleagues across our other Step One locations who helped make this happen. We’re proud to open our doors as a team, and we’re even more excited to bring that same energy to every guest who walks through them.

Whether you’re searching for a new Cadillac near Destin, Niceville, or Pensacola, you now have a world-class dealership right in your backyard — backed by people who genuinely care about getting it right.

What to Expect at Cadillac Fort Walton Beach

Step One Cadillac Fort Walton Beach isn’t just a dealership — it’s a full luxury automotive experience built around one simple idea: treat people right and the rest takes care of itself. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

A Complete Cadillac Lineup

From performance sedans to commanding SUVs and Cadillac’s growing electric vehicle lineup, we carry the models today’s drivers are looking for. No runaround, no “let me check on that” for days, just real answers and a team ready to help you find the right fit.

  • Cadillac Escalade & Escalade IQL — The definitive full-size luxury SUV
  • Cadillac LYRIQ — A stunning all-electric SUV redefining what a Cadillac can be
  • Cadillac XT5 & XT6 — Refined midsize SUVs built for everyday luxury
  • Cadillac CT5 & CT5-V — Performance-driven sedans for drivers who demand more

Certified Pre-Owned & Used Vehicles

In addition to our new inventory, we offer a curated selection of Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac vehicles and premium used cars — all inspected and priced to deliver real value. We’ll be straight with you on the numbers and straightforward about what’s on the lot. That’s just how we do things.



Expert Service & Genuine Cadillac Parts

Our service center is staffed by factory-trained Cadillac technicians who take ownership of every vehicle that comes through. Whether you need routine maintenance, warranty repairs, or genuine OEM parts, we’re not here to pass you around — we’re here to solve the problem and get you back on the road.

Financing for Every Buyer

Our finance team works with a wide network of lenders to find competitive rates for buyers throughout the Florida Panhandle. We’ll walk you through your options clearly and honestly — no fine print surprises, no pressure.

Part of the Step One Automotive Family

Step One Automotive Group has built its reputation across the Gulf Coast on a foundation that doesn’t change location to location: integrity, accountability, and a genuine people-first approach. We believe the best dealership experience starts with the best team, and that means investing in our people so they can show up for our guests every single day.

Opening Cadillac Fort Walton Beach is a full team effort. It reflects the support of every Step One colleague, every department, and every community that has trusted us over the years. We don’t view this as one store’s win — it’s a shared milestone for everyone who has been part of building Step One into what it is today.

We’re also committed to being more than just a place to buy a car. Step One dealerships are embedded in the communities they serve, from local sponsorships and charity partnerships to events like this one that bring people together. Fort Walton Beach is home, and we’re here for the long run.
