Delta Launches LGA to ECP Service

Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) invites the community to trade the Gulf breeze for a Parisian breeze this March. The professional theatre company recently announced the return of its annual fundraiser, "La Vie en Rouge," a night dedicated to French-inspired elegance and the continued growth of local arts education.

Beginning March 1, 2025, Walton County opted to go with one main chair and umbrella rental vendor across South Walton Beaches. For 2026 the singular company is Coastal Beach Service, which has served the area for decades.

The service offers more than just chairs and umbrellas - see their website for locations and options, or call 850-233-0914.

Tucked away along the shimmering shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay, The Village of Baytowne Wharf continues to serve as the vibrant heart and soul of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. As we move into March, the Village is shedding its winter coat and leaning fully into a season of outdoor festivals, open-air music, and the kind of coastal energy that only spring in South Walton can provide.

Safety on the beaches is a priority in Walton County and the "official" Beach Safety season kicked off on Sunday, March 1, 2026, as South Walton Fire District (SWFD) lifeguards returned to their posts across 26 miles of shoreline for daily surf rescue and coverage.

Walton County Tourism is expanding its free Beach Tram service on March 1, with routes running to and from regional beach accesses from the new 393 Municipal Parking Facility, which is 4 blocks north of 30A on Hwy 393 at Gulf Place,  and Grayton Beach Municipal Parking Facility, which is 4 blocks north of 30A on Hwy 283.

Note that these large public parking lots have covered waiting areas with seating and restrooms, as well as inside air-conditioned waiting areas with local art.

The air in the Village of Baytowne Wharf changes every February. It isn’t just the crisp winter breeze coming off the bay, it’s the heavy, savory scent of dark roux and slow-simmered spices drifting through the streets.

If you follow your nose toward the center of the Village, you’ll find the 37th Annual Sandestin Gumbo Festival in full swing.
