Per the Walton County Tourism Department, "summer visitors to Walton County will once again be able to enjoy complimentary day-use admission to Grayton Beach State Park and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park from Memorial Day through Labor Day."

It has become an annual benefit and it's wonderful news for visitors and residents alike. This year marks the eighth year of admission coverage for Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and the sixth for Grayton Beach State Park. 

We hope you will take the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of our state parks. Not only is are the beaches spectacular, there are beautiful paths to explore and lakes to paddle.

Complimentary day-use admission is available during normal operating hours, generally 8 a.m. to sunset, and this year's program will begin on Memorial Day weekend, May 27, and run through Labor Day, Sept. 5.
