What makes Grayton Beach special?
Grayton Beach is an historic town, one of the oldest beach towns in the Southeast. It is a free-willed and free-spirited place that is hard to describe in words. It first belonged to the Choctaw Indians, then American pioneers braving sandy trails, mosquitoes, and wild hogs. Present-day Grayton Beach is made up mostly of southern folks and their descendants who came to Grayton to get away from it all. Irony has brought it all back to them in the form of vacationers and real estate speculators. Not long ago it wasn’t uncommon for there to be more dogs than people in Grayton. Old-timers like to tell tales about times gone by when a strange car coming into town was an unusual event.
