Our Walton County beaches have officially snagged the top spot in VRBO Best Beach Towns in America — and while the world celebrates our sugar-white shoreline, we know: The magic starts long before you hit the sand.
It’s in the mom-and-pop shops and porch swings of DeFuniak Springs, and Freeport. And in some parts – signs reminding you to slow down — because a tractor might be crossing.
So while everyone’s booking vacations and snapping photos of Seaside post office, we’ll be over here celebrating the whole county — the north side, the bay side, the beach side. Because around here, every mile of our county is worth — a cotton pickin’ award. 🏆 Travel + Leisure
