Moon Creek Gallery
From the founders of SoWal.com, the recently opened Moon Creek Gallery in Grayton Beach offers exquisite photos from decades spent capturing the best the beach has to offer. Photos are offered in many ways - notecard gifts, unique photos mounted on driftwood from the local waters, and traditional matted and framed museum-quality prints. The Heritage series consists of fine art canvas in heirloom frames of sinker cypress from the cool depths of the Choctawhatchee River. Photographer Kurt Lischka founded SoWal.com to share his beautiful images with the world and now you can come directly to his gallery to take home a piece of the beach. Also a hub for our beloved SoWal staff - you can also find other beach gifts, SoWal T-shirts, hats, postcards and more! Grayton Beach Plaza - 1414 Co Rd 283 S, Suite D - right on the main road to Grayton from Hwy 98, just north of Scenic 30A.
