There is a lot of history in Grayton Beach. On every street are historic homes and fantastic memories. "Artless Sprite" is a quaint cottage with a long history full of family memories, and it is available to rent so new memories can be made.
Greetings friends, we are sorry you can't be with us at the beach right now. The sky is sunny and blue, the air is perfect spring and the beaches are open!
Things have been as slow here as anywhere and we are only running on a skeleton crew at the moment, but as the lock-down is beginning to ease folks are starting to book, and we know many of you are looking to get away.
We write to share a few things we hope you will find of interest:

Back in 1986, Bob and Linda White would sometimes wonder if their idea of starting a bookstore at Seaside was such a good idea. Fast forward to 2016 and any doubters have long since become believers as Sundog Books clips right along. The couple, surrounded by customers, employees and their latest Sundog dog “Glover,” celebrated their 30th year in business Saturday, April 30, 2016…the day fittingly coincided with Independent Bookstore Day.

Warning! The photo may be too graphic for some viewers. Today in Grayton Beach around noon we captured this horrific image of a man eating shark. The attack was gruesome and proved to be fatal for the shark. The type of shark is unknown.
The shark was grilled and served on a Kaiser Roll. French Fries was the side dish. The staff at SoWal.com hope you are having a great April Fool's Day!
Ahhhh… the margarita – one of life’s lovely treasures. Indulging in a cold, tart margarita on a hot summer day is one of our most refreshing beach traditions. And like a shark that never stops swimming, we're constantly on the hunt for a great margarita. Here's our latest SoWal List with some great local margaritas that have quenched our thirst over the years.
