South Walton is a strong and proud community, and an important part of our purpose at SoWal.com is to foster community growth. We are blessed to have so many great groups and organizations, and we enjoy supporting all of them. You can help through membership, cash contributions, volunteering, or even by sharing their achievements with others in the community and beyond.

All South Walton backyards can be a gathering place for birds, butterflies, frogs, squirrels and many more types of local wildlife.

You can attract native species by offering food, water, cover and space for them to raise their young, and your yard will be transformed into a welcoming habitat for wildlife. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages Flordians to make a difference and have fun by creating a refuge for wildlife in their own backyard.

The State Parks and State Forest Lands in South Walton are spectacular. Protected lands make up about 40% of the land south of the bay.

We are so blessed to have such treasure all around us. The lakes, bayous, creeks, forests, dunes and beaches in our parks make SoWal a very special place. Incredible landscapes with coastal dune lakes, lake outfalls kissing the Gulf, flowering dune magnolias, soaring pelicans, dancing dolphins, flower-covered dunes - the wonders of coastal nature are everywhere you turn.

Every week in South Walton, we have a great collection of Farmers Markets featuring fresh produce, ready-made foods, crafts and more!
