In 2010 The Florida Park Service will be celebrating 75 years of the "Real Florida". The staff of Grayton Beach State Park is asking the public for their help in locating old photo's dating from 1968 to 1995 of Grayton Beach State Park. Photos can be emailed to our Park Services Specialist at Patrick.W.Hartsfield@dep.state.fl.us. Photos will be excepted from 9 October to 31 December 2009. We will try to use as many photo's as possible but all photos may not be able to be used. We appreciate any help that the visitors and residences of Florida may provide to help document the history of our parks.

Fall is here. Many visitors have discovered our award winning beaches, campgrounds and cabins. What a great time to enjoy a walk along the sugar white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico or the park's four and a half mile interpretive hiking and biking trail. For the less adventurous hiker, come check out our improved one mile interpretive nature trail. Grayton Beach is the ideal place to bring your family and experience "The Real Florida."

"Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.

Conserve water, energy, and save nature’s resources while vacationing in a beautiful Florida State Park cabin.

Grayton Beach State Park has opened the new campground loop with 24 new sites that have 30 and 50 amp electrical, water, and sewer at each new site. We hope that this allows more people to experience "The Real Florida".

Grayton Beach State Park has full beach access including ADA access at both the main park and cabin beach

We are sorry but pets are not allowed in the cabins or cabin area or on the beaches. Pets are allowed in the campground and on nature trails.

Welcome to Grayton Beach State Park

Golden in the morning sun, silvered by moonlight, Grayton Beach has consistently been ranked among the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the United States. The beach provides an idyllic setting for swimming, sunbathing, and surf fishing. Visitors can paddle a canoe or kayak on scenic Western Lake to get a closer look at a salt marsh ecosystem. A boat ramp provides access to the lake's brackish waters for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. A nature trail winds through a coastal forest where scrub oaks and magnolias, bent and twisted by salt winds, have an eerie "Middle Earth" look. Hikers and bicyclists can enjoy over four miles of trails through pine flatwoods; the trail begins across from the park entrance on Highway 30-A. Options for overnight stays include modern cabins and a full-facility campground. Located near the town of Grayton Beach on County Road 30A, south of U.S. 98.
