The Bay Restaurant Welcomes the South Walton Community to Meet Santa Claus!

Grayton Beer Company will host the 2nd Annual GRAYT Holiday Market on Saturday, Dec. 2 from noon to 6PM with lots of local shopping, food, drink and Santa Claus too!

The Viridian is modern luxury right in the heart of South Walton in Seagrove Beach overlooking Scenic 30A and the Gulf of Mexico.

Seaside is excited to announce the beginning of a new Post Office Plaza. It is part of the vision of Seaside founders, Robert and Daryl Davis.

“The plaza is the first project leading to the future construction of the Krier Tower,” said George Calvi, Seaside Director of Development, “and should take about six months to complete.”

Located at the southern end of Seaside Avenue, the plaza will house the Seaside Post Office as well as seven new public restrooms and additional bike parking.

“This is the first time I’ve had good bread in America in 30 years,” Delphine Debono matter-of- factly announced in her French accent as she made her way to the front door of Black Bear Bread Company located in a charming white cottage at Shops of Grayton. 

Every morning in Grayton Beach at Hibiscus Café is special but Sundays are off the chart!

The Café opens as usual at 7:30 a.m., but the real fun starts with the Hibiscus Backyard of Love Funday Sunday Brunch charity events from 10 to 1. The regular Café menu is expanded to include wine and a mimosa bar with live music underneath the beautiful oaks. 

Café Thirty-A owner Harriet Crommelin is hosting the annual Charity Christmas Soirée on Friday, December 1, 2017. The Christmas-themed event benefits Caring and Sharing of South Walton. Tickets are available for $75 per person at cafethirtya.com.

The Thanksgiving holiday is over and we have had a great run of weather here at the beach.

Most years I am booked every day the week of Thanksgiving but the weather only lets us fish a couple/three days. This year I have been able to take my folks out and get 'em a mess of fish for 10 out of the past 11 days!

It was a sad day for many SoWal folks back in 2015 when the old Seagrove Village Market Café  was torn down.

But thanks to owners George and Ann Hartley, the “new and improved” café re-opened last year (November 2016) just a stone-throw away from its original location, still serving up the same “Deep Fried Love” that it is famous for.
