We've got some great wine bars here at the beach in South Walton. On any given afternoon, life at the beach just might entail stepping inside for a quick glass, only to emerge a few hours later to step into a taxi to head to the next bodega. Let's explore some of our favorites in our latest SoWal List.
South Walton is chock full of rare and unique treasures that you can’t find just anywhere. This year, think outside the box and look for gifts that will be “the hit” of the holidays. After a week of shopping local, the SoWal staff found the best gifts around for the whole family! We started in Miramar Beach and made our way east to Rosemary Beach for our latest SoWal List.
30Avenue is a new upscale shopping and dining destination on the eastern gateway to South Walton, just across the highway from Rosemary Beach. It's growing day by day, and not only has fantastic restaurants and boutiques, but premier office space on upper floors. Brick walkways and tall palms line a lush green space and an infinity reflecting pool. White stucco façades are similar to nearby Alys Beach architecture.
We enjoy discovering the freshest and most interesting foods whether its produce, cheese, wines, olive oils, seafood, baked goods or specialty foods. SoWal food shopping options are expanding in ways that make us thrilled to be able to shop local. Tasty, healthful and fresh foods can now be found at a number of locally owned markets, health foods stores, and gourmet/specialty shops.
With excellent stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn, Grand Boulevard’s retail mix is aligning nicely with their established dining scene. Wide shaded walkways, lush greens and stone facades will have you looking for excuses to visit, and there are plenty. Like Happy Hour, for instance.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year with more holiday markets than ever in our quaint & cheerful beach towns!
Our latest SoWal List is all about the jingle jingle and the ho ho ho - Holiday Markets where you can shop local for unique gifts this holiday season.
Sun worshippers, surfers, beach babes, professionals, and entrepreneurs are all busy, whether in an office or on the beach. Everyone deserves to take a break from the daily grind to grab a cocktail and kick back. No need to rinse the salt water from your hair, the sand from your feet or polish your loafers - just walk in and belly up to one of these cool, laid-back outdoor bars where the rum flows and the frequenters feel right at home in our latest SoWal List.
Local painter Justin Gaffrey began his career as an artist after working many years as a chef and local restaurant owner. Justin was actually building furniture in 2000 when a primitive Caribbean folk style painting caught his eye and inspired, he painted something similar on a piece of furniture.
On a quiet street in the quaint coastal town of Grayton Beach in South Walton, Florida stands a two-story home with a private pool - the ideal beach house.
The Perfect in South Walton Awards, now in its sixth year, are both nominated and voted on by the public, allowing both visitors and residents to recognize their favorite local restaurants, businesses and events in a variety of categories.
