Grayton Beach State Park is one of the most popular state parks in Florida, with massive dunes, winding trails, abundant wildlife, and shimmering 100-acre Western Lake, one of many coastal dune lakes gracing Scenic Highway 30A along Scenic 30A in South Walton (SoWal).
See all the details at http://SoWal.com/place/grayton-beach-state-park.
As the old one-story dune cottages of yesteryear disappear, a few are still available to lucky visitors to South Walton. Beach Baby is one of the few that remain on the beach in Seagrove, and holds all the old charm and memories of the SoWal past.
This photo is from July 4th 1979 at the start of the annual parade with ten Jeeps decked out with flags lining up on Hickory Street in Seagrove. The blue Jeep is owned by the woman in the blue bathing suit in the foreground who is Janie Soloman (Marie and Jane’s mom).
Stop by the Rosemary Beach Town Administration Building and pick up a map for a walking tour to check out the 2019-2020 edition of the outdoor sculpture exhibit.
South Walton is bursting at the seams with events for kids and families in the summer season! Our latest SoWal List has activities especially for kids, either on the beach or when they are taking a break from the beach and ready to try something new and exciting. We hope you find something they will really like and make some SoWal memories to last a lifetime.
Life at the beach is all about a having a free spirit and free time. It’s a place we celebrate by having our toes in the sand and not in the kitchen. Let us share just a few of our favorite places you can go to grab everything you need for lunch on a blanket or dinner on the porch. These grab it and go possibilities make the old time soggy sandwich picnics a thing of the past.
From the white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, to the Old Florida feel of Choctawhatchee Bay, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort spreads over 2400 acres offering everything fun under the sun.

Justin Gaffrey is a sensitive, insightful, creative and successful SoWal artist. He also kills yellow flies with a blowtorch.
He burns them to crisps, their burnt bits blending with colorful layers of dried acrylics texturizing the floor. He sent one to oblivion right in front of me after the little bastard made the final mistake of biting me. Sweet revenge in the studio!
