Let’s face it…there’s lots to do in South Walton. But if a little solitude and a break from the hustle and bustle of the Scenic 30A strip is what you need, a bike ride into the woods is the ticket. You may not even see another person all day. If you prefer boots to wheels, the hiking is just as good.

Panama City Beach is just east of South Walton beaches, across the bridge over Powell Lake. Though Panama City Beach’s wilder reputation is quite the contrast to the quiet towns that dot Scenic 30A, our neighbor to the east still shares the familiar emerald-green waters, sugar-white beaches and pristine waterways.
It’s also more diverse than you might think. Among the number of go-cart tracks, putt putt golf courses, t-shirt shops and oddities at the Ripley’s Museum are opportunities for those searching for elegance or natural beauty.

Pier Park is located in the heart of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Anchored by Dillard’s Target, JC Penny and Marshall’s, the outdoor lifestyle center also features national brands as well as a range of boutiques along the boardwalk…just steps from the beach. With dozens of dining options, the Grand IMAX Theater and year round events, Pier Park is a premier destination for South Walton locals and visitors alike.

Carillon Market Street is the heart of the village with unique shops and eateries. Guests and residents access Carillon Beach directly from US 98, just east of SoWal Beaches across Lake Powell at the gateway to Panama City Beach, Florida.
Dune Allen is a place where lake and beach unite. Dune Allen surrounds Lake Allen and Oyster Lake, two of our rare coastal dune lakes, which are unique to this part of the world. SoWal’s coastal dune lakes are so rare that they are only found in the Beaches of South Walton and remote portions of Africa and Australia.
