5/17-5/18 We left Topsail Preserve State Park and drove eight miles east to Grayton Beach State Park on Santa Rosa Island, FL. Nice drive on 30A through Grayton Beach with bike trails, condos, old houses and restaurants. Really cute town! Arrived around noon and drove to the beach and then to our site.
Grayton Beach State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, FL – 59 sites, $24 plus tax, water and electricity in the older loop. The newer loop the cost is $30 plus tax with full hookups and a newer bathroom but this loop does not have much shade or privacy. We stayed in the older loop with gravel roads because these sites are smaller and we can fit with a 25 foot RV. The site we had faced the bay and you could see the dunes of the beach across from the bay. It was a beautiful site with shade, privacy, views and we really loved it. It felt like “old Florida” with the palm trees. We could walk or ride our bikes over to the beach and it was another beautiful Panhandle beach. This park is in the coastal lowlands and it has three dune lakes within the park. One wakes up to birds chirping with great sun rises and sunsets. The little town of Grayton Beach is quaint with small restaurants that have outside seating under umbrellas. There is a bike trail just outside the park going along the highway into town and beyond. We enjoyed our stay at this park and would return.
Spent the days here biking, walking the beach and just enjoying the beautiful weather in Florida. It is so peaceful here and again maybe we saw twenty people on the beach. I am falling in love with the Panhandle. We did see some tar on the beach and water from the oil spill again but very small pieces other than that the water here is crystal clear and carribean blue.
