Raw & Juicy has a new home in Alys Beach and we’re loving it!
In the heart of Alys Beach lies the Alys Shoppe, a destination boutique for women’s, men’s and kid’s apparel. The shop has everything you need to spend a week at the beach in style.
In the 1940s and 1950s families that visited SoWal every Summer stayed in quaint cottages - some were simple and practical concrete block homes that stayed cooler on hot days and defied the elements. Some of the getaways were wooden shotgun shacks moved down to the beach from Old Point Washington where they had housed workers when lumber was booming.
Construction is booming in Alys Beach and the first homes were built as carefully and solidly as the current ones.
In this edition of SoWal Style we take a look inside one of the first homes built in Alys Beach along the central pedestrian path, bordering the firepit park. It's a wonderful four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home thoughtfully designed courtyard home with an outdoor living space featuring a trickling water fountain and tropical foliage creating a private retreat.
Our favorite Grayton gem, Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse, has turned 25! The "birthday party" was held under the oaks in the Backyard of Love on Saturday, May 11th. Everyone had a good time sharing, drinking, eating, and dancing!
AJ’s Seafood & Oyster Bar is a one-of-a-kind destination that draws in both locals and visitors. Spend a little time there and taste a little food and it’s easy to see why.

The new fitness center at Alys Beach is nearing completion and it is a wonder to behold. The plans are coming to fruition and everyone is invited to join during the exclusive initial membership drive.

Remembering good times at The Red Bar in Grayton Beach which sadly burned to the ground in the early morning hours of February 13, 2019. A plan to rebuild is underway and to that we say CHEERS and we can't wait!
Check out our fun video of a July evening stroll - the street scene, Louis greeting folks at the bar, The Red Bar Jazz Band doing their nightly thing, the patios, panee' chicken with mounds of mashed potatoes, and sunset at the Western Lake outfall on the Gulf of Mexico.
