Grayton Beach is the oldest community along the 26 mile stretch of coastline between Destin and Panama City Beach known as the "Beaches of South Walton." The shoreline consists of pristine dunes, wildlife and vegetation not found in many of today's coastal environments.
In addition to the sugar-white sand, aqua waters and unspoiled sand dunes, you will find beautiful nature trails and a safe, crowd free environment. Approximately 40% of the acreage that makes up South Walton is owned by the state and is thus protected from future development.

Strict building restrictions in Grayton Beach ensure that it maintains its small town feel. Scattered throughout the area are private-home rentals, unique boutiques and art galleries. Further inland, the region is covered with thick pine and hardwood forests, and 14 lakes, making it an ideal spot for anglers. Grayton Beach State Park is one of the most scenic along the Gulf Coast. It's composed of untouched Florida woodlands, salt marshes, rolling sand dunes, white sand and contrasting blue-green waters. The park offers swimming, fishing, snorkeling, hiking and camping.
Worth visiting while in Grayton Beach is Eden Gardens State Park. This antebellum mansion sits amid an arcade of moss-draped live oaks. Furnishings in the mansion date back as far as the 17th century. The surrounding gardens are beautiful year-round, but are exceptional in March when the azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom.
