To make this process easier for them, maintain the same schedule and plan some fun activities in the new home. For children from military families, the difficulty in relocation is especially acute. First, military families move more frequently and they also move greater distances.

If you were to ask the proud residents of South Walton what their favorite part of living in the area was, they would likely have trouble deciding on just one thing. There are simply too many positives to choose from, between the plentiful access to beautiful beaches, regular festivals, and the laid-back, friendly community. However, both locals and tourists enjoy the state parks that call South Walton home!

Eden Gardens State Park
The Eden Gardens State Park consists of 163 acres of historic land that were once part of the Wesley Homestead.

Beyond exploring the house, there is also a garden to stroll through and a fishing dock in the Tucker Bayou. Visitors can visit the Florida State Parks website to obtain a day pass for Eden Gardens State Park.

The white quartz dunes of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park are also its namesake! This particular state park consists of three miles of beautiful beaches protected by the state to preserve their rare ecosystem and various hiking and biking trails. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a favorite destination for birdwatchers, hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers. Additionally, if you like camping, there are several campsites in the area to help make the most of your trip.

This state park is home to many rare plants, including spoonflower, pitcher plants, lupine, and Curtiss’ sandgrass. Access to the beach is made easier by a convenient boardwalk across the sand. If you keep an eye out, you are likely to get a glimpse of the various species of local or migratory birds and butterflies!
