Grayton Beach
Sand lanes, tin roofs, and a state park for a neighbor — the funky old heart of 30A, mostly unchanged.
The neighborhood
Grayton was a fishing village before it was anything else, and it still acts like one: unpaved lanes, cottages with names instead of numbers, and the Red Bar pouring since before the crowds found 30A. Grayton Beach State Park wraps the west end with trails, a dune lake, and the prettiest campground in Florida.
Days here run on bikes — the village, the park, and the beach are all within a ten-minute pedal. Evenings run on live music and grouper sandwiches.
Our two houses sit on the quiet lanes east of the village: Longleaf, a timber cottage for six, and Tabby, a four-bedroom with a pool for eight.
Good to know
Do we need a car in Grayton?
For the week itself, barely. Both houses include cruisers, and the village, park and beach are all bikable. You'll want the car for the Publix run and day trips to Seaside or Rosemary.
What's the state park beach like?
Wide, protected, and quiet — entry is $5 a car or free on bikes. The Western Lake outfall sometimes cuts a wading channel kids love. Pavilions, restrooms, and outdoor showers on site.
Where should we eat?
The Red Bar for the scene, Hurricanes for oysters with your feet in the sand, and the Grayton Seafood Co. truck for the grouper sandwich. We'll book ahead for parties of eight or more.
See the two houses.
Longleaf and Tabby, side by side in dates and rates — tell us your week and we'll hold the one that fits for 48 hours.
