Visit South Walton has announced the 2021 Perfect in South Walton Award winners. The annual popular vote awards recognize local restaurants, businesses and events in a variety of categories.

“The Perfect in South Walton awards are a great opportunity for us to celebrate local businesses – to help them feel a little love from locals and visitors who have made great memories thanks to the people working hard to create a special experience for them,” says Visit South Walton Director of Marketing and Communications David Demarest. “It’s one of the ways we support those businesses and help remind visitors of the many reasons they have to come back again.”
