It’s hard to imagine two people at the beach more fit than Matt and Megan Titus.
As owners of SoWal CrossFit (NWFL Fitness), these two are “in it to win it” when it comes to health and fitness. They could easily grace the cover of any healthy lifestyle magazine, but it’s “what’s inside” that really comes forth when speaking to them. Trading in “bad habits” for “healthy habits,” they decided back in 2011 to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

The term “just another beautiful day in paradise” is heard often here in SoWal.
Red Tide can ruin a day at the beach in Walton County, Florida. Luckily, Red Tide is pretty rare in South Walton. The 30A beaches rarely get Red Tide, but when it come it is no fun. Sometimes it is very mild and people think it is an allergy attack. Sometimes it is severe and makes you feel like you have the flu.

Salon Twist opened the doors to a full book of clients on St. Patrick’s Day 13 years ago. The Seagrove salon’s success can be attributed to hard work, good vibes and maybe even a bit o'luck. Owner Gina Shiflett moved to South Walton a mere sixteen days prior, and it’s been a whirlwind ever since.

For the Health of It has been in business for 22 years in Blue Mountain Beach. That’s long enough to see organic babies grow into organic kids into organic teens into healthy adults.
After all this time, the good folks at the health food store / nutritional emporium / juice & smoothie bar still manage to keep things fresh. Now they’re stocking items from the largest provider of organic produce in the Southeast to offer loyal customers clean food at conventional prices.
