Grayton Beach State Park covers nearly 2,000 acres on Scenic Highway 30A: a long white beach, Western Lake (a 100-acre coastal dune lake you can paddle) and four miles of trails through a coastal forest of scrub oaks and magnolias twisted by the salt wind. It opens from 8am to sunset every day, and it often fills up and closes for a few hours at busy times, so arrive early.
