This 2228 acre State park offers rolling sea oat covered dunes with white sand beaches tapering to the emerald green waters of the Gulf. Salt spray and wind pruning, two of natures landscaping tools are seen throughout the gulf front areas of the park. The park offers a glimpse of how the panhandle coast appeared to the first European settlers. Scenic Western Lake offers a look at the salt marsh Eco-system backed by Pine Flatwoods and coastal scrub. In addition, the park offers rare plants and animals a habitat in which they can exist, such as the rare Choctawhatchee beach mouse. Shorebirds are numerous on the beach and sea turtles often nest here in the summer months. To preserve the various ecosystems in the park, foot traffic is prohibited in the dunes and in bird nesting areas.

The park currently maintains 37 Campsites, and 30 Cabins. Overnight visitation is increasing in its popularity here at Grayton, so make reservations early. The management and staff are looking forward to meeting new visitors as well as welcoming back our friends from the past.
