Retreat to Compete: Group Sports

Lining 26 miles of sugar-white sand beaches and stunning turquoise water, South Walton is filled with opportunities for action. Groups visiting for a sporting event will soon discover so many other ways of getting out and taking advantage of all the fun here.

Adventure awaits out on the Gulf through sailing, fishing charters and diving excursions (including a rare underwater art museum). Back on land, championship golf courses incorporate the beautiful natural terrain while offering spectacular views. State-of-the-art complexes and full-service resorts serve up countless courts for tennis and pickleball (as well as beach volleyball, if you count the sand as a court). Biking along the Timpoochee Trail carries riders through scenic landscapes and winding side streets.

And throughout these streets are unlimited options for world-class dining, family fun and festive entertainment. While each person’s interpretation of downtime may be different, these 16 beach neighborhoods ensure that everybody enjoys an experience that feels tailored to them.
