    visiting the beach with disabilities

    The public access at Inlet Beach is definitely easy. Only a ramp, no stairs. I have not seen a beach wheelchair, but wonder if you could gain access to one. You may want to check with the lifeguard there. When you exit from 30A onto 98, turn right. Turn right again onto the 3rd street on the...

    Yellow Fly Bites! I'm allergic....any remedies?

    An antihistamine will help with the reaction. Vinegar works wonders for the itching. Just swab on or put some vinegar into a bath. I feel your pain......they LOVE me! #feelingnotmutual

    Whats Your Wine?

    I tend to do Reds more in the cooler months and Whites in the warmer months. I usually look for a really good, inexpensive wine. However, I do also like to splurge on occasion! For reds I prefer a Cab, Pinot Noir or Zinfandel. For whites I prefer a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc or a good, cold...

    Must do in South Walton?

    Our new favorite thing to do is get a pizza, take it and a cooler down to the beach for sunset! Other favorites: ride bikes whenever possible....visit either Rosemary, Alys or Seaside for an outside event (check the calendar). Happy Hour at Caliza in Alys. Other must visit restaurants: Onano...

    Sowal Visitors, how did you learn about the beach flag system?

    I think that most people know the flags are for a reason, though they may not always know what color means what. On-going education is definitely needed! Unfortunately, most messages need to hit home. Letting people know the realities of ignoring the flags....letting people know when there is a...

    Where is your favorite beach location, other than Sowal?

    OOOHH....have never been to either. BUT, have had several friends go to both. I would pick Puerto Rico over Jamaica......We have our 10th anniversary this year too! We are going to Yellowstone (a hubby thing), but I am really looking forward to it. We are doing an early celebration in Mexico...

Definitely looking for some great spa services....probably a 1/2 day with massage, facial, mani/pedi. Have been to Solace in Rosemary (apparently they have changed their name?) and I was really...

    No Grayton wedding?? Denied!

    I totally get why someone may be hesitant to rent to a group for a party.....I would. Afterall, they don't know you or what your values are. I am sure many homeowners have gotten burned in the past, so you have to understand their hesitation. Good luck on your wedding...it sound like it will be...

    Is Rosemary the best place for us?

    Seacrest subdivision might be ideal! It is next to Rosemary. You can easily walk there or ride bikes. There is a tram that will pick you up at your door and shuttle you across 30A to the beach! The pool at Seacrest is 12,000 sf!!!! It's huge!

    Is Rosemary the best place for us?

    Rosemary is easy to navigate both on foot and by bike! You can rent bikes and it is so fun to explore the area! There is a lighted crossing in Rosemary....easy to cross. Most folks are milling around on foot/bike. You would be fine staying on the north side of 30A. That's what I would do...

    Gravel Road? All You Can Eat?
