Grayton Beach
Grayton Beach Florida lies between Blue Mountain Beach and Seagrove. The downtown area has a few shops, which are pretty unobtrusive. Many of the houses here are in the old florida style, and the rest blend in with that image pretty well. You won't find many of the Mediterranean style vacation homes here that are so popular on some of the other beaches. Everything fits in to the relaxed image this beach conveys.
