The crew at Local Catch Bar and Grill invited the SoWal Staff to sample their amazing new Fall menu and we were not disappointed! Local Catch is one of our favorite spots in South Walton for great food and service, and locals know it’s the place to go for good eats, tasty drinks and homegrown music in a fun-loving atmosphere.

In 1958 there was only one house resting on the south side of Scenic 30A on Dune Allen Beach - only one. Bo Rentrop and her late husband Billy Rentrop were there, and Bo remembers that single house very well.

The judging is complete and the official results are in for our 2014 "You're So SoWal if..." contest!  A big SoWal thanks to everyone who sent in entries to make this year the best ever with great stuff from across the country. Beach lovers near and far know and love South Walton beaches!

This is the 4th year of our contest and every year we are thrilled by the creative, funny, and heartwarming entries. Thanks to everyone for sharing what SoWal means to you, especially our loyal SoWal Forum members.
