Did you hear that? South Walton has sounded a siren call for seafood lovers.
Thanks to local entrepreneurs Pamela and Tim Wellborn you can now find the bounty of the “world’s luckiest fishing village” just inside the welcoming doors of Destin Ice Market 30A in Inlet Beach.

The Grayton General Store is truly SoWal’s convenience store of choice.
“If you need it, they got it” seems to be the most popular opinion of store shoppers. Located at the corner of Scenic 30A and Hwy 283 in Grayton Beach, the iconic little grocery/deli/bike and watersport venue is a very popular place for all manner of shoppers.

“I’m a walking mannequin. Everything from my jewelry to my jeans can be found in my shop.”
I often remind myself that we are not meant to be limitless. I had a particularly difficult time holding myself to this as I recently perused the exquisite collection of goods at the Alys Shoppe.
From extraordinary jewelry whispering my name, to the quintessential white v-neck t-shirt adorned with the classic Alys Shoppe logo – I was ready to unharness my imaginary, limitless credit card.
The term “just another beautiful day in paradise” is heard often here in SoWal.
