A few days at Grayton Beach

Spending time with Kelly and Leah, James and Melba in the Panhandle of Florida.

It always seems to me that the beach by the Gulf of Mexico is prettier than by the Atlantic.  What do you think?

It's windy.
The area by the State Park on the beach is typically not crowded.  You get to enjoy it a whole lot better.

You can camp in the State Park or rent one of the cabins.

This is birdwatching on the beach, where the birds are watching you.

Nice hat!

Debbie looks relaxed here.

Her favorite place, a quiet beach.

White sand, pretty ocean colors, perfect blue sky.


We've seen a few wildlife during those few days.  Beside a decent variety of birds, we saw a small shark in the water, a couple of dolphins, schools of fish, stingrays, and a manatee on the last day.  Not bad.

There is also a beautiful "dune lake" on the other side (inland) from the beach.  A lake with white sand dunes. 



Debbie, Kelly and Leah, the day the water was calm. 


I've added a short video just to give you the envy to go spend some relaxing time at the beach.  If you're on a budget and you want a quiet and pretty beach, go to Grayton Beach State Park.  Shh...That's our little secret.
