Most people are familiar with Destin and Panama City, known for spring break, but Beaches of South Walton remains relatively undiscovered.  What makes it so different from other destinations is that South Walton County is a nature preserve in the form of state parks.  There are no large towns, and the entire area is environmentally progressive.  South Walton County was one of the last panhandle beachfronts to be developed which allowed the opportunity to avoid mistakes prevalent in other beach destinations.  In fact, many visitors to the Beaches of South Walton enjoy their stay so much they decide to purchase a home here.
