Grayton Beach is a favorite place for skimboarding, especially nice when the surf has flattened the beach and the tide is high. Western Lake outflow at Grayton Beach also often provides excellent skimboarding.

The Cultural Arts Association of Walton County presents ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival in May 2010. The Festival moved to The Town of Seaside, just two miles down Scenic Hwy. 30A from Grayton Beach, where in 1989, the event was founded and lived for seven years.
ArtsQuest then spent seven years in Eden Gardens State Park and another seven years in the Village of Baytowne Wharf in the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.
Frommer’s, one of the most popular sources of online and print travel guides and information, ranked SoWal Beaches and the Florida Panhandle as one of the Top 12 Destinations for 2010.
Author Leslie Abravenel recognizes the area has “some of the most diverse recreation choices along Florida's drastically under-appreciated Gulf coast, and some of the best options for visitors seeking an affordable family vacation.”

Ed Walline Regional Beach Access is ADA accessible, and has two picnic shelters, parking, restrooms, and beach wheelchairs and lifeguards during peak season. Located at the intersection of Scenic 393 and Scenic 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, just across the street from Gulf Place rentals, shopping, and dining.
Ed Walline Access is unique among SoWal accesses with a one-story viewing platform overlooking the beach and gulf - a great place to spot surfers and dolphins.
Walton County and The Beaches of South Walton along with its history and highlands are THE Best. I’ve never held back from that opinion even though I’ve traveled to some very beautiful and historic places. Your opinion or favorite place may differ, but that is okay. Whether I was standing in front of Mt. McKinley (Denali) in Alaska, the Grand Canyon in Arizona or Napoleon’s grave in Paris, my heart and mind always yearned for the view, culture and history of Walton County, Florida.
