Grayton Beach

Grayton Beach is known for its free-spirited residents and carefree attitude. The area is also home to more of South Walton’s rare coastal dune lakes. These lakes are only found in 5 places on earth – Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Oregon, and right here in So Wal! These rare lakes occasionally open up and meet with the coastal body of water they border. When they do, they exchange water, marine life, and other organisms creating an environment of both fresh and saltwater and a mix of species not normally found living together. Here you’ll also find the only stretch of beach that allows vehicular traffic (permit only) which provides a unique twist on hanging out at the beach.
