The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance (CBA) of Northwest Florida State College announces the fall session of its award winning eco-tourism initiative, Discover Roads Less Traveled: Eco-Adventures of Walton County.
“CBA’s eco-tours are intended to bring participants to local, off the beaten path environmental wonders,” states CBA’s eco-tour coordinator, Brandy Foley. “We hope that these tours will entice individuals to experience our local environment from a different perspective.”
When Amy Walsh gave birth to her first child, she knew her mother was dying from bone cancer. Even so, her parents jumped on a flight from Michigan to Santa Rosa Beach to meet their grandson. Although Amy was recovering from a cesarean, she explained, “I cooked her dinner, rubbed her feet and made her sit in the sun.”
The founder of Fore Her is no stranger to public service, or cancer for that matter. Amy’s sister was a toddler when she was diagnosed with leukemia, a disease which, thankfully, was successfully treated.
Thanks to the hard work of a dedicated group of locals, South Walton has added an entire layer of recreation through artificial reef environments. The South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA) has installed the first set of near shore reefs off our beaches.

Grand Boulevard is South Walton's premier shop, eat, play and stay destination. Located near the entrance to Sandestin, the outdoor lifestyle center features exclusive boutiques and eateries, renowned national retail brands, a wide mix of specialty services, as well as the only movie theater in South Walton where you can catch the latest flicks,
As is true with any location fortunate enough to be by a large body of water – the beach is by far the number one reason eager travelers head to our corner of paradise.
Granted, South Walton is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country – or the world for that matter – but the most precious souvenir any departing guest ventures home with is not sandy feet or a sun-kissed tan. Explorers who arrive seeking fun in the sun find this in abundance, but perhaps the most valuable keepsake of all found on our shores is inspiration.
The judging is complete and the official results are in for our 2014 "You're So SoWal if..." contest! A big SoWal thanks to everyone who sent in entries to make this year the best ever with great stuff from across the country. Beach lovers near and far know and love South Walton beaches!
This is the 4th year of our contest and every year we are thrilled by the creative, funny, and heartwarming entries. Thanks to everyone for sharing what SoWal means to you, especially our loyal SoWal Forum members.

When you step inside this fine Rosemary Beach home, it is difficult to find words that describe just how creative and unique it is. The Gulf view home is owned and has been carefully adorned by interior designer Vern Yip. It's graced by interesting artwork, décor and furniture that is a feast for the senses.

Each year the fun begins at the Red Bar in Grayton Beach as folks roll out of bed and into their trucks, jeeps, and boats to parade around the town.
