Outdoors & Nature

In South Walton, adventure lies around every corner, and there are endless ways to get in touch with nature.

With access to the Gulf and the Choctawhatchee Bay, dropping a line and reeling in the big one is a Floridian rite of passage. With four state parks and the 15,000-acre Point Washington State Forest, hit the trails and traverse your way through the scrub oaks and pines, all while catching a glimpse of the local birds and wildlife.

For a truly unique South Walton experience, check out the rare coastal dune lakes that dot the coast. A combination of freshwater and saltwater, these incredibly diverse bodies of water are home to their own special ecosystems. And while you would typically have to travel to New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, or the Pacific Northwest to find them, we have 15 right here in Walton County.
