Things to do around Grayton Beach

My wife and I will be there July 9-13, celebrating our 24th anniversary. I was wanting to know about any good resturants close by and shopping. Also how good is fishing in the gulf and the lake this time of the year.
  • That little shopping center has a restaurant called the Broken Egg. Very good breakfast! Trendy and sort of yuppy, but good. A little deli around Seaside or Seagrove (east of the park) named the Cocoon Deli, I believe, had amazing deli food. Various fish dips and amazing smoked shrimp. Our last trip there we were told the smoked shrimp was not an every day thing. Best call first, but very, very worth it!

    Thanks for the replies we will more than likely make a trip into Panama City or Destin. We usually go to St Andrews but wanted to stay here after visiting the park it is away from the hustle and bustle in the other two places and last summer St Andrews looks to need some maintence work done to it. Keep the suggestion coming. The little shopping center before you get to the park is it alot of different things there?


    We made the same decision to abandon St Andrews after many great trips there. The park management is terrible at what should be routine maintenance. Looking forward to Grayton Bch at the end of July. The FHU sites made the decision easy.
