    Grayton beach - beach chair rentals - troubling trend

    One of the things I like about Grayton is it has never looked like Destin or PCB with rental chairs from one end of the beach to the other end.

    St. Joe Club & Resorts private membership club

    I really don't see the attraction for Seaside ,it has lost the quaintness it once had,just too busy for the kind of vacation I look for.I still love Sundog's, just wish there was another one a bit west of Seaside.

    Hit the Beach for International Coastal Cleanup Sep 21

    Why not have a cleanup day the last Friday of fall break? Then maybe some of the lazy a---- who trash the beaches would not have another day to leave their litter on the beaches.Oh, and very last day for spring breakers, maybe they would not come back.Just a thought

    Golf Carts on the Roads in SoWal

    Imo, the ones who suffer most from THE GOLF CARTS,LSVs are people who work in Seaside and the other communities on that end of30A.I'm a tourist,try to get there at least twice a year,I can see many problems with these vehicles; just wait until some one gets a serious injury or worse,who will get...

    So the old man driving the cart cart said that only applies to cars

    This is one touron who wouldn't mind at all if golf carts were banned,if walking into traffic while texting was banned.I now know pedestrians don't have to look either way when crossing a busy street and that I as a driver of a car must not run over them,but I've seen some a slight bump,oh well...

    Thanksgiving on 30a

    What could be better thanThanksgiving at the beach?The year we were there,it seemed like everyone was in a thanksgiving kind of mood,strangers didn't seem like strangers,people speaking to each other,was a wonderful holiday.

    Why Leaving Your "Stuff" on the Beach Overnight is a Bad Idea

    These are the same people who wear pajamas to WMart to pick up a six pack so they can then pitch empty cans out the window of their car.Iam a frequent visitor to the beach and I guess someone will whip my a-- one day,get tired of telling dumb people about cig. butts and holes left in the sand...

    Spring break vandals have struck

    Don't forget, most of Kentucky will be on their way down this weekend. Hope everyone is respectful of our host state.I can't understand just wanting to get away from home to tear up and destroy, that is not a love for the beach.

    Tipping

    Having family in the service industry, I know those winter months are lean for them.I say if you can't afford to leave a decent tip, go eat at fast food or eat at home. Don't mean to be ugly about it but seems sometimes people who can well afford the 20% are the cheapest tippers.

    Kiteboarding in South Walton

    I can't see how kite boarding lessons should rub anyone the wrong way.Love watching the kite boarders,there is a difference between motorized water sports and things that go quietly overhead.

    Why are we advertising for spring breakers...????

    My family is in the habit of spending spring break in South Walton and until last year everything seemed so peaceful. The rental we were in last year was next door to a very large rental. At one time I counted seventeen teenagers onthe patio and in the pool, we had been kept awake the night...

    Trash along 30A Bike Path

    Several years ago, a small town close where I live let it be known if one was caught littering ,they would be fined. To this day people still heed that warning. Might work down there . Itoo pick up trash when I'm there and I hate that some will trash any thing.

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

    I can't imagine not seeing the flag meanings , every book you get at checkin has it,rentals usually have it posted on the fridge.Some people think they are smarter than the next guy and nothing tragic will happen ---it does happen. Sorry about the two this past week. How terrible for the deaf...

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

    I hope everyone visiting the area sees these warnings and stay out of water.It puts more than one person at risk of drowning when someone thinks there is no danger.

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

    No matter what , some people will ignore the flags.I don't think I have ever stayed in a rental that didn't have the flag situation on the fridge.They are there for a reason- pay attenion.

    What do you love about Grayton Beach?

    I love that I can take my young grandchildren there and feel that memories are being made. I love that they can go shop at Grayton Corners ,not Wmart.I love that I can see the Gulf, not high rises blocking my view.I love that the locals speak when I'm walking around town, not try to run over me...

    Is anyone patrolling the beach??????

    Last week I took bags to the beach for trash. Coming upon PILES of trash, I would ask politely if if it belonged to people sitting really close to it.Well, of course it wasn't theirs.Now, why if the trash isn't yours would you park your rear end next to it.I am certainly not trying to back pat...

    Is anyone patrolling the beach??????

    Ok, not every tourist wants to go on vacation and have to put up with loud ,drunk foul mouth teenagers. If I wanted that ,I would go to PCB.I think something should be done to let unsupervised kids know real fast that 30A is not party city.Last week was the worst spring break I have experienced...
