    Call for Volunteers to Serve on Walton County Boards and Committees

    Why does every single committee require an annual financial disclosure? I imagine that would make many people reluctant to serve?

    Siam Thai Now Open by South Walton Publix

    I have been there twice in the past week! Great food and good people. Thursday I had the coconut soup with chicken (and jasmine rice). Today I had the beef pho with an abundance of rice noodles. I also ordered a side of fried rice. Delicious! The sign above the door still says Jin Jin, but...

    South Walton Beach Rules & Safety Info

    Don't give up on us, There are a lot of locals who are working in front of the scenes and behind the scenes to counteract some of the recent changes, including the trash pick up. Most of our visitors are good, polite folks. A few aren't and those are the ones that have (for a large part) gotten...

    Rick Scott Campaign Bus Tour. First Stop Donut Hole SRB Sunday

    I was there, finally gave up at 12:20 on his showing up. What a wimp - deciding to go to a different donut hole because of the danger that our motley crew posed!

    Best margarita in Grayton or Seagrove !

    It's not a Margarita, but the Pina Colada at Chanticleer is unbelievable. They make it with ice cream. So, it's effectively a heavily spiked milkshake.

    oil on beach

    A friend of mine went into the gulf today in the Seabreeze / Camp Creek area and got black oil all over her hands and feet. Has anyone else experienced this? Who should she call to report it? Any ideas?

    Paint For A Cause At Southern Self Storage Grayton Beach

    How in the world can you make the paint stay on the jellyfish? Or hold it still long enough to paint the jellyfish?

    I Do Declare...

    Actually, the eastern end of 30A USED to be 32413 which is shared with PCB. The change a year ago was to make all of the Walton County homes that had been in 32413 into a new ZIP code, 32461. Rosemary, Alys, Watersound, Seacrest, etal. are now in ZIP code 32461.

    Crab & Chardonnay at Trebeache on Fri nights Aug 12 - Oct 14..

    Trebeache is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants - great food and service. Sunday brunch isn't bad either. During August, it's 10 cent mimosas!

    Where to get Sushi for lunch near Grayton Beach

    I think Basmati's has a tuna roll and a veggie roll at lunch as well. Also, I'm pretty sure that 45 Central in Seaside serves sushi at lunch

    Eastern Lake Commercial Development With Expired Development Order - meeting 7/14/16

    Don't forget that the informational meeting is tonight. Please come and learn about this development. While construction has already started, if the court determines that it is not legal, they will have to take it down.

    Eastern Lake Commercial Development With Expired Development Order - meeting 7/14/16

    Actually Matt, this is not a required developer meeting. There was not one. This meeting is organized by the neighbors of the development to inform the community about what is getting ready to happen. The county has nothing to do with it.

    Lars, the issue here is not that there are existing buildings, the issue is building new ones in the protection zone.

    Here is a link to the tax assessor map: Attached is a .pdf showing the Coastal Dune Lake Protection Zone as well as the plans for the building; I'm pretty sure it was heard at the May Technical Review Committee meeting but did not appear on the agenda and the minutes have not been published.

    I am NOT for this development. It is not in accordance with the County's Comprehensive Plan regarding the Dune Lakes.

    Eastern Lake Commercial Development With Expired Development Order - meeting 7/14/16

    The entire parcel is within the Coastal Dune Lake Protection Zone (300' from Eastern Lake). The planning department determined that this constituted a "less than minor" development and the approval was done at the Technical Review Committee. It never went to the planning commission at all.

    Headland Ave Beach Access Workshop 7/12/16

    I believe that during any discussion of beach vendor issues, not only should Commissioner Jones recuse herself from voting, but also sit in the audience and have the same three minutes of time that any other citizen of Walton County receives to speak for or against the issue. And that should...

    New TDC Regional Beach access opposed by Beachfront owners

    Don't forget this important meeting tonight at 5:30. Many will argue that the restrooms should be moved to the existing parking lot. This lot is 1/4 mile north of the beach, which if any of you have ever had a small child, is an insurmountable 425 + yards. Also, with the restroom facility at...

    Highlands House??

    Highlands House is fantastic - fabulous burger and I'm a fry snob and they are among the best along the A. Because the restaurant is now open to the public as opposed to a component of the bed and breakfast, they are required to get the use change.

    Very good and informative post Rob!

    Misc We booked in Summer's Edge in Seagrove. Will we love it?

    2 blocks is about right and most of the houses on the street are rentals. It is a really cute house with great outdoor space. I doubt you'll be disappointed!

    Misc We booked in Summer's Edge in Seagrove. Will we love it?

    I am very familiar with that home (I was the listing agent when it sold last year) and the location (I used to live across the street). It's real easy to get to the beach from the home and your children will love the fact that one of the two neighborhood pools is between the home and the beach...

    This will be an extremely important meeting. While no decisions will be made, this is everyone's opportunity to learn the current issues about beach access and customary use and to speak to the county commissioners on the topic

    New Director of Walton TDC

    John G, I respectfully disagree with your position that the beaches are not being privatized. Over the past three years, over 100 individual property owners have put up fences from the dune to the mean high water line accompanied by "no trespassing" signs. A few weeks ago, a gulf front owner...
