Western Lake and Gulf of Mexico Meet in Grayton Beach

The coastal dune lakes along 30-A are rare bodies of water found in only a few other parts of the world that naturally open up to the Gulf of Mexico a few times a year and then close themselves off. The “pass” in Grayton Beach is where the kids are often found splashing around in the two feet-four feet of water because it seems like a life-size kiddie pool without the chlorine. Sometimes minnows and crabs can be seen swimming from one deep spot to the next. The “pass” is an image that comes to everyone’s mind when thinking of Grayton Beach, so whether you are using it as a means of transportation from Watercolor or Grayton to the gulf by Kayak or Stand-up paddle board, or want to let your kids play, come join us in Grayton Beach.

A little late…

Better late than never in sharing something like this. Smarter Travel’s Kate Hamman put Santa Rosa Beach in the “Ten Best Beach Destinations for 2011” along with places like Bali and Curacao. People are starting to notice the beauty we have in our backyard. Read on to see what she thought..

“Recently celebrating its centennial anniversary, Santa Rosa Beach, and its long stretch of untouched sand and calm seas offers a quiet escape on the Hogtown Bayou. Though the lapping waves and cool sand are the main attractions, there is plenty to do inland, such as shopping, fine dining, and golfing, and exploring the town’s many art galleries and nature trails. As one of the 13 communities of South Walton, Santa Rosa Beach is now easily reached by flying into Panama City’s new airport.”
