Dune Allen
Coastal dune lakes are a geographical rarity – an ecosystem found in only a handful of places around the world, including South Walton. However, in Dune Allen alone there are three. These lakes bring a heightened sense of beauty and ecological balance to this area.
Santa Rosa Beach
Founded in 1910 in a thriving turpentine industry, Santa Rosa Beach was the start of South Walton as we know it. Today, Santa Rosa Beach boasts luxury beach houses, upscale dining, and a unique artist colony. It was named one of the “10 Best Beach Destinations for 2011” by Yahoo! Travel.
Blue Mountain
With native blue lupine flowers (the “blue”) and some of the highest dunes on the Gulf coast (the “mountain”), Blue Mountain stands out along the coastline with its own naturally laid-back style. From lavish homes to ‘60s-era beach cottages, you'll be sure to find a style all your own.
Grayton Beach
The hand-painted sign on the side of the road sums it up: “Nice Dogs, Friendly Folks.” Grayton Beach is about as laid-back and organic as a beach town can get, from old-style wooden beach bungalows to the “hippie kitsch” local bar to the narrow neighborhood streets lined with live oaks.
WaterColor
Hailed for its eco-friendly design and environmental stewardship, WaterColor is a shining example of how responsible development blends in with its surroundings, and enhances them. Enjoy the award-winning inn and spa or take an ecotour - the emphasis at WaterColor is clearly natural beauty.
Seaside
An outdoor amphitheatre. A nationally acclaimed fine arts festival. A local repertory troupe. When it comes to pairing beauty and the beach, the folks in Seaside have, well… made an art of it. Of course, that’s exactly what you’d expect from a town that wrote the book on New Urbanism.
Seagrove
Named for the thick grove of windswept trees that surround it, Seagrove maintains the same green canopy of oaks, magnolias, and sand pines that came to define it a half a century ago. Today, Seagrove has a mix of old beach homesteads and newer cottages - a little something for everyone.
WaterSound
From the bold turquoise of Gulf water to deep green wooded grasslands, from the serenity of riding a bike to the enjoyment of a round of golf, the gated resort community of WaterSound gives its visitors a secluded microcosm of everything that South Walton has to offer.
Seacrest
If you like your beach vacations on the quiet side, Seacrest’s tranquil charm is a perfect fit. It is an eclectic mix of classic Florida beach houses and brand new vacation homes. Fishing, kayaking, golfing, and good old-fashioned beachgoing are among the traditional forms of recreation here.
Alys Beach
As you drive to the entrance of Alys Beach, you may feel as if you’ve been magically transported to a seaside paradise in Bermuda or Antigua. Palm trees and deep green lawns in the community’s open space contrast the white stucco walls and elegant private gardens of its residences.
Rosemary Beach
Maybe it’s the porches wrapped around every home. Maybe it’s the “French Quarter” feel of Town Center. Maybe it’s the boardwalk promenades and secret pathways that wind between the carriage houses. Whatever it is, Rosemary beach is the perfect place to relax and reconnect.
Inlet Beach
No matter where you come from, a visit to Inlet Beach will have you feeling like a “local” in no time. Inlet Beach has a laid-back, residential feel. Take a bike ride around the quiet streets, or grab a bite at one of the popular local eateries. Here, it’s easy to “make yourself at home,” even on vacation.
