Visit South Walton's Brand Story

Everyone needs to have their own beach. Sounds simple enough. Start with the purest white quartz sand filtered down from the Appalachians eons ago and washed westward along the blue-green Gulf of Mexico. Form it into wave-like dunes topped with sea grasses. Frame the dunes with pines, spreading broad swathes of green against the perfect blue of the sky. Scoop out freshwater lakes to reflect all that blue. And back it all with huge inland estuary teeming with all forms of life.

People have been drawn to theis restorative beauty ever since they've been drawn to the South. The culture that has grown up here from residents and visitors alike has ever been peaceful, respectful of the natural uniqueness and well spiced with the flavors of Southern and Gulf Coast character.

The result is a necklace of individual beach neighborhoods, each with its distinct emothional hue, its own cultural traditions and feel, its own visual style. All linked not only to each other, but also to the bountiful natural gifts they are committed to preserve and perpetuate.

This is our promise: somewhere along this strand, you will find your perfect place, your partner's beach ideal, your family's epitome of what the word beach was meant to be. That's South Walton. Find your perfect beach.

I saw this and was wondering, shouldn't it be South Walton Songwriters Festival or SoWal Songwriters Festival? Sounds a lot better and why leave out Freeport, Point Washington, Inlet Beach, Sandestin and Miramar Beach? And ain't Bunker in SoWal?

Walton Co.
Those other places are left out because it is logistically difficult to run up and down South Walton, going from one venue to the next, though having it just on 30A makes it a little easier.

Yeah but the contest is for a SOUTH WALTON song not a 30A song. Besides I don't want to "run up and down" I want to take my time and go to great venues and hear great music. I don't need to try and go to a lot of different places. And if I did I could go to several places in Baytowne Wharf alone. And a beachfront jam at Pompano Joe's would be the bomb!
