Wherever you stay, you likely won’t be far from beach access points, as there are more than 50 in the South Walton area alone! Nature lovers will lean towards more low-key spots like Seagrove Beach and Seacrest Beach, while those craving a bit of the city character will like Inlet Beach and Rosemary Beach. It’s going to be a popular weekend wherever you choose but know that your options will be plentiful on this gorgeous stretch of coastline!
Visit Local National Parks and Wildlife Watch
Nearby you will find two parks of interest, where you can wildlife watch and explore a network of hiking and biking paths. Deer Lake State Park is home to a stunning beachfront, along with a coastal dune lake situated along the shore, which is rare to observe worldwide. Deer Lake is home to a variety of unique plant life as well, and you might be able to catch a pop of color dusted along the dunes from summer wildflowers. The pristine beach makes for a great picnic spot, and you might spot some local wildlife, such as migratory seabirds. A short drive away from the Point Washington State Forest can be found, which offers several hiking and biking trails among a dreamy landscape of cypress groves and wet Flatwoods.
Get in Some Memorial Day Shopping
