Spring is here and wildflowers are blooming. Seems many of you 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 parks new four and a half mile interpretive hiking/biking trail. For the less adventurous hiker, come check out our improved 1 mile interpretive nature trail. Grayton Beach is the ideal place to bring your family and experience " The Real Florida".

Welcome to Grayton Beach

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.
