We love spending time in WaterColor. The award-winning resort's amenities really set it apart from some of our other great South Walton beach towns. St. Joe did a wonderful job planning the town and preserving its best features. The dunes and beachfront are well preserved. But just off the beach are incredible lakefront trails, marsh boardwalks, parks, pools, and green spaces.

The beach means summer and the best of summer in SoWal is during 4th of July week. There is so much fun and fireworks everywhere you turn, in every beach town. All along South Walton Beaches is an all-American celebration every year during the first week of July. Parades, flags, watermelon and music blend perfectly with beautiful beaches and happy families.

Be sure to check the SoWal Events Calendar, the SoWal Live Music Calendar, and the SoWal Forum for all the happenings.

Nick's Seafood Restaurant, aka Nick's on the Bay, aka Nick's in the Sticks is one of our favorite places to get fresh local seafood in SoWal. Enjoy this short vid by Camilla Aikin and Tyler Keith for the Southern Foodways Alliance.
