Grayton Beach State Park

Getting into the park is really easy and navigating to the different areas of the park is easy and clearly marked. If you’re camping it looks like the higher numbers are the newer sites and maybe a little larger as well. Parking lot for the beach is easy to find and all the site are a short distance from the beach. At the entrance of the walkway to the beach is a pavilion to sit in the shade. The walk way from lot and beach is well done and has showers and foot washing at the parking lot. The beach is a “NO Dog” beach but there is a walking path that allows dogs on a leash. Great walk with your dog to enjoy.

Our first family vacation and our daughters first trip to Florida and a beach. The cabin was beautiful. In fact my daughter said she could live there. We were very close to the beautiful beach and very clean. Friendly people every where. The cabin has all the necessities except the towels but we had plenty of our own to use. Dogs are not allowed in the cabins.

Beautiful white sand.
Clear blue to green water.
Not crowded like most public beaches.

This place is ideal for families who don't like crowds and a lot of current. The water stays below three to four feet for about the first 100 feet from shore. We found live sand dollars galore along with a six inch starfish, some hermit crabs, a jelly fish or two, and schools upon schools of fish. We even saw dolphins jumping in the distance, which I was able to catch one or two on film.

I would highly recommend this park to any family who wants a fun beach outing without a lot of other people.

Visited Grayton Beach State Park for a relaxing beach visit. Pristine white sand beaches. Restrooms on site. $5/day per car entrance fee. Tucked on the beach along a mile or so of coastline adjacent to 30A. An oasis between the beach development on either side of the park.

Very beautiful! Blue ocean and white sand. It was a little cloudy when I visited the beach, but it was still amazing. My family relaxed for two hours on the beach with doing nothing and took a trail. We completely enjoyed our stay there.

Absolutely beautiful beach and loved the trails! The shell lined trail was magical 💙

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this park so much! We are here almost every single day! Beautiful and clean. Rangers are friendly and top notch...especially Mr. Kent Sawyers...we love him! The beach is one of the best around and the trails are scenic, relaxing and gorgeous! You feel safe to get lost in nature. Great for kids and families. I highly recommend to check it out if you're visiting, but be warned...you may not want to leave!

Beautiful and quiet beach in January. Dogs can’t go on the beach, but they can walk on a leash on the nature trail through the dunes and it was unexpectedly my favorite part of the park!

I am a lover of the beach and the open spaces. This park have it all. You can sun bathe do paddle boarding walk for miles hike the dunes watch the sunset or the sunrise and the park is only minutes away from other beaches that you can visit during your stay at the park.

Camped 3 nights. Rangers were very helpful and friendly. We were running a little late and they called us to give us gate code. Waited a few minutes for us. Thanks.

My favorite beach of all time. Love how quiet and unpopulated it is. Sand is white as snow and the water is emerald green!

Probably one of the best State Park in Florida, full hookups, nice and shaded lots, bathrooms clean, very popular among RV'ers, therefore hard to find a spot. Definitely, I would love to come back.

Beautiful state park. Friendly office people. Great access to the beach. We will definitely stop back here again when in the area.

Paddling through here is one of my new favorite activities. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards right near the launch.
There's so many different places to paddle, I spent 3.5 this paddling and still didn't see everything. I loved paddling through the tall grass as the wind went through it. Sometimes you can even find lilies among the lily pads.
The bathrooms are near the beach and they were pretty decent. There's also different picnic area you can eat at.

Great beach & trails. This was a nice, not-too-crowded place to take kids in early June.

Grayton Beach is a quiet area away from Destin's chaos. They have a tram that takes you to the beach and the beach is less crowded but still gorgeous. There is a cool bar right off the beach also.

Excellent place, particularly the campground, clean, big spaces, semi-private.

So beautiful and clean. The campground was great. The bathrooms were clean, the shower rooms were spacious with hot water. Love the water bottle fountains. Love the people in the office.

One of our favorite parks/ beaches. It has limited parking in comparison to some other areas, so it tends to fill up early in season (call ahead to know if they are at capacity. )

You can tell a lot of care is put into the facilities here. From restrooms to lake side trails, everything was clean and well kept. Staff members greeted us with a smile any time we crossed paths.
Even with many fellow visitors in the area (mid May) the beach was serene and peaceful.
The trail along Western Lake was an interesting experience with changes in flora along the way and part of the path was made of thousands of fully intact seashells.
