Grayton Beach State Park


We just returned from a few days in Florida and it was beautiful. We left on the 6th and got there around 2:00 pm. I guess I didn't pay attention to the website because we couldn't check-in until 4:00 pm. Well thankfully, there were some nice pavilions where we could have a picnic and sit in the cool breeze until check-in. We were very surprised at how nice the cabins are. They have 2 bedrooms (1 queen bed, the other has two twins and the living room has a futon) the kitchen was small but adequate and the living room/dining area was combined. What was really nice was the screened back porch (where we stay most of the time when we weren't at the beach). Whoever built this park really did a super job. The whole park where the cabins are situated is gated and the cabins are very secluded and you feel as if your really away from it all. It's about 1-1/2 mile walk to the beach. Sunday night me, Andre and the girls got the flashlight and did the night walk on the beach. The stars were brilliant. And its one of those night that will be remembered for a long time.
Of course, on Monday morning, we were at the beach really early. And yes, we did see two sharks (sand shark) the largest was about 4 feet long. But that didn't stop us from going into the ocean later on. The water was crystal clear. We spent most of the day at the beach with short breaks in between. (We didn't see anymore sharks). Leah stayed in the water most all the time using her goggles. She saw lots of fish.
Tuesday, it was hard to leave. I definitely would recommend Grayton Beach State Park.
