Panoramic Gulf views mesmerize from every seat in the house at Fish Out Of Water, WaterColor’s favorite casual dining spot.
If you can tear your gaze away from the view, textural artwork by Justin Gaffrey and an open Chef’s kitchen are a feast for the senses. The menu itself is a sensory experience, ever changing, ever creative, ever delicious.

What started out as a cool café by five dudes on surfboards with beers has evolved over time into a family-run cafe. Owners Paul DiGiacomo and Bonnie Erin reopened Grayton Corner Café to the delight of South Walton locals - this time with a new location.
But the more things change the more they stay the same. Grayton Corner Café at its core remains a place where locals feel comfortable and visitors feel like locals.
“It’s an extension of your home, which in the old days that’s what Grayton was,” says Bonnie.
Four diamond service. Panoramic Gulf views. Casual vibes. Tranquil blues. Fish Out Of Water plays it cool among the happiest of Happy Hour spots in South Walton.
All views lead to the ocean in the updated dining room. Cozy cushions, hardwood floors, an open kitchen (with a tandoor oven!) and the indoor/outdoor FOOWbar leads you to the wide patio with Gulf views. Blue as the eye can see.
Modica Market, which opened March 17, 1989 by Charles Modica Sr. and his wife, Sarah, began with a simple deal-sealing handshake between Modica and Seaside founder Robert Davis, and has since flourished into one of the most recognizable businesses along Highway 30A. As the market celebrates three decades in business, the next generation of Modicas — Charles Modica Jr. and Carmel Modica — run the store together.
Seaside is the picture-perfect little SoWal beach town where you can reach every shop and restaurant by foot or bike.
There’s perhaps no artist more synonymous with South Walton than Justin Gaffrey, whose richly textured paintings colorfully depict the area’s distinct coastal landscape and wildlife.
