Grayton Beach, FL

When you’re in Grayton, you spend the majority of your time on the beach. Forget about even wearing shoes--the sand is so super-duper soft it feels like sifted flour. When you are ready to venture out (i.e. put the shoes back on), you’ll discover a community of artists. Swing by Big Mama’s Hula Girl Gallery, tightly crammed with everything from Woodie Long folk art to whimsical garden art. If you carry a large purse, leave it in the car or you’ll knock something over. I chose a few picture frames (the peeling paint variety) and a small watercolor painting at Lily Pads, a large, market-style shop with multiple vendors and artists. Then the sand and water always draws us back. Day after day. Year after year. You’ll see.
