The Emerald Coast Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, is stoked to announce the first ever running of the- Kid’s Surf Classic. It's a surfing contest just for kids. For many it will be a first-time surfing experience, and for some, a chance to show off their skills. For parents and children alike it will surely be a great time on the beach.
Alys Beach, Florida is one of the newest "new urban" towns in South Walton and it is perhaps the most visually unique because of its distinct blend of mediterranean and island style. Take a stroll down the center of town along the stone-lined pedestrian path and feel yourself transported to another world.
Here are a few of our favorite things to do and places to see in Alys Beach:
The Alys Beach Amphitheater is the perfect place for families to enjoy outdoor concerts, movies and children's plays!
It's been a beautiful and exciting spring here in SoWal and the YOLO Board crew kicked it up a notch last Thursday at the WaterColor BoatHouse on Western Lake! Our hats are off to another exciting event from our partner. As a race sponsor, we're thrilled to be a part of such a fun South Walton tradition.
South Walton locals and visitors have learned over the past few years that some of the best music available anywhere plays right in the heart of SoWal during the Seaside Summer Concert Series.
This year's series returns to the Seaside Amphitheater on Wednesdays beginning June 6th through August 15th. The concerts are free and open to all, and a great way to experience some of today’s up-and-coming artists in a beautiful setting.
Summer comes alive in South Walton around the time school lets out, or the annual YOLO Race Series starts, whichever comes first. This year the start of the race series coincides with the end of school on Thursday May 24.
Alice Cooper was visiting SoWal a couple of weeks ago. Somebody needs to tell the YOLO crew to kickoff the first race this year with his iconic anthem from 1972, "School's Out" (for Summer!).
Lace up your shoes and run for the arts in Sinfonia Gulf Coast’s second annual bravo! beat 5K run/walk on Saturday, June 2 at 8am starting and ending at The Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
The Seaside Repertory Theatre pulls out all the stops each summer to entertain the whole family with a series of free plays scattered around SoWal. This summer is no exception with three highly-entertaining productions for the outdoors.

South Walton locals know one of the best ways to kick off Summer is the annual Grayton Beach Kids Fishing Tournament. This year it was a bit cloudy and windy but no one seemed to mind.
Registration was only $5.00 per kid for boys and girls under the age of 15. The tourney is intended to promote responsible use of our marine resources through recreational fishing. Each participant receives a free rod and reel, tackle box, beach rod holder, bait, Pompano rigs and weights. Eighteen gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded!
An expanded ArtsQuest was a resounding success as music and art was showcased in Seaside over three days. Stormy weather made way for beautiful blue skies for a Mother's Day surprise! Congratulations to Francisco Adaro who took home the prize for Best In Show.
Well, its that time of year again! "Children of all ages... time to disconnect from your I-pad, I-pod, Xbox, Playstation, PC, DVD, TV and smartphone and CATCH SOME FISH!!!"
The 6th Annual Grayton Beach Kids Fishing Tournament will be held this Saturday, May 12th beginning at 8am sharp!
