Adventure

The 22nd edition of the annual Rags To Riches Regatta returns to Grayton Beach on Saturday, June 30th, 2018 in celebration of American Independence Day.

The small catamaran race is a tradition among SoWal sailors, families, friends, and Grayton Beach lovers. Come out to watch the regatta take off from the shores of Grayton Beach, have a cold one from Grayton Beer Company and pick up a tee shirt commemorating the 2018 Regatta. Relax and watch the colorful catamarans on the Gulf as they race to Seagrove Beach and back to Grayton. 

Drive right through the north gate of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort for tons of fun, delicious eats, and cold drinks at Baytowne Marina on the picturesque Choctawhatchee Bay.

It’s time to start planning summer activities for the kids in SoWal, and the South Walton Fire District has the perfect opportunity for them to learn better beach safety, develop a skill set for the future and develop new friendships.

If you love outdoor adventure on the world's most beautiful beaches, you'll want to take a day (or three!) to explore the Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show coming up this weekend in Panama City Beach.

Join outdoor SoWal lovers at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and the Friends of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park for Love Tracks, a 5K Fun Run/Walk on February 17, 2018 from 7 to 11 a.m. 

Our latest trip launched from the new Pilcher Park under the 331 Bridge. The water was calm, the wind light, and the sky clear. It was a perfect day to be on the water. 

Captain Greg Burnett has a ton of fish tales and he likes to tell 'em!

Some of us work out for vanity or for sanity. Then there are those who find their life’s purpose in fitness.
