What are your favorite South Walton Traditions?

Making sand angels!

Watching the sunset with a glass of wine.

Actually two glasses of wine since there are two of us.

Eating a giant cheeseburger with a bloody mary at the Red Bar!

Pompano fishing.
When the weather gets windy, rainy, and foggy! I love it!

The best tradition is that all are welcome to live, work, play and build life long friendships along the number one beaches in America!

Ditto!

I'm going with BR on this one. And I'll have both the glasses of wine myself.

Eating the steak special at Pandora's on Wed. or Sunday.

There is so much to do, we try to do different things every time. So no strong traditions have developed. Unless trying something new can be considered a tradition.

But we ALWAYS watch a sunset. It's my favorite time to be on the beach.

Come sundown,watching the sun in its majesty cast colors on the dancing waves.

I'm going with the wine at sunset as a favorite tradition. I'll also add getting up real early before everyone else is awake and reading a book at the beach with my coffee/tea and reading on the porch. Fishing is a new tradition (for my sweetie). We always go to George's, get beignets from Flip Flops in the summer, and just added walking to amavida coffee at Rosemary Beach and walking through different communities, old and new, to see the architecture and landscaping. Ah, and another tradition is exploring and making new traditions.

Riding our bikes around WaterSound ... so beautiful. And getting a pulled pork sandwich from Cocoons 🙂

Amen to that!

Thanks everyone! Keep them coming - we'll publish in an article soon to share with all!

Okay, I'm done for now. We have more traditions, but I'm tired of typing.

For me it has to be the nightly walk with dog along 30A.

Kat's Key Lime Pie is my tastiest tradition-after D&K closed we started ordering one from her!

Calling my mom (when she's not on a trip with us) to give a daily report of vacation happiness every evening.

Last night of the trip we always have a nice bottle of champagne with a tasty dessert and watch the sun set from the beach.
