Hotels in South Walton

Between the emerald waters and sugar-white beaches, South Walton's string of coastal villages each maintain their own distinct personality. Seaside's pastel cottages might look familiar from 'The Truman Show,' which filmed among its picket fences and artisan shops. Grab a gourmet popsicle before biking the scenic 30A trail that connects communities like sophisticated Rosemary Beach and funky Grayton Beach. The rare coastal dune lakes create ecosystems found in only a handful of places worldwide. After watching dolphins from Santa Rosa Beach, browse galleries in Watercolor or catch live music at one of the outdoor pavilions. The locals insist the sunsets here aren't just viewed—they're applauded.
