Grayton Beach State Recreation Area

Located on S.R. 30-A, south of U.S. 98. Hours are 8 a.m. to sundown. This is a beautiful 400-acre oceanfront park. Pet policy, per the Web site, states, "Pets are not allowed in camping areas, on bathing beaches, in concession areas and may be restricted in other designated areas of the park. Where pets are allowed, they must be kept on a six-foot, hand-held leash and well-behaved at all times."

Update of 02-10-06: A kind reader tells us the only dogs allowed on Grayton Beach anymore are those of residents of Walton County who have a special license!

Updated of 02-10-06:The same reader said there has been talk of Walton County constructing a new dog park near State Road 331. We'll research it, but does anyone have more information about this?

NOTE: We can't visit every area on a regular basis, so if you have information about any dog parks or beaches, or any other animal recreation facilities, in the Grayton Beach/Walton County area, please contact FloridaPets.net.
