Dolphins Dance in South Walton Florida
March 25, 2024 by admin
Two dolphins dance around a lucky paddler in the Gulf of Mexico in South Walton on a perfect morning.
SoWal Fishing Guide
In addition to the Gulf of Mexico, South Walton is home to 17 fresh and brackish coastal dune lakes as well as the Choctawhatchee Bay & River, and its many tributaries including Black Creek.
There is great fishing on the Emerald Coast. You can easily outfit yourself, get a guide or charter a boat, or show up at the dock and go with a group. If you’re on a boat with a pro - they’ll have all the gear and licenses for you.
South Walton Nature Walks
There's not much better for your body and your mind than getting back to nature among the trees and flowers, dunes, wind, water and wildlife.
South Walton's natural beauty is astounding, and the main reason folks flock to our coast. The beach is the main draw, but just off the beach some of our favorite spots can feel like a world away.
