Grayton Beach State Park has one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the United States. It is a joy to visit for swimmers, sunbathers, snorkelers, and surf fishers, with its mild currents and sugar-white sand. Canoeing and kayaking is permitted on Western Lake, and boat rentals are available.

A mile-long nature trail with interpretative signs winds through the coastal forest of scrub oaks and magnolias, and a four-mile hiking and cycling trail allows visitors to explore even more of the parkland. Thirty modern cabins and 59 full-facility campsites exist, as well as picnic pavilions for use by day trippers and overnight guests. There is plenty of bird life: ospreys, bald eagles, and shore birds live here, as do deer, grey foxes, and the elusive and rare Florida black bear.
