BEST BEACH in FLORIDA 💗 Grayton Beach State Park

Grayton Beach is voted the #1 best beach in Florida, and it’s tucked away in the Florida panhandle. The crystal clear emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico is perfect for snorkeling and paddling, and there’s lots of wildlife to see around Turtle Reef, the man-made artificial reef in the shape of a turtle! On our Grayton Beach adventure, we had the most amazing sealife encounters with a very large sea turtle and a huge pod of dolphins!
We absolutely love spending time in the Florida panhandle because of the calm warm waters. When the beach was too windy, hot, or busy, we enjoyed the beautiful quiet campground at Grayton Beach State Park and even found nice hiking trails that had us climbing over huge sand dunes and into the shady Florida pine forest. We hope you enjoy the episode!

I moved from the UK to Florida when I was fourteen years old, I loved this beach the sand and sea are beautiful! I was so miserable, thankfully my grandparents let me fly back home and live with them, my friends were so important, now I am forty nine years old and wish I lived back there, your videos are so interesting I am binge watching every one! You two are such positive and inspiring people thank you.❤️❤️❤️

[@greenvelvettractor8872]

Wow! Excellent footage, especially the sea turtle. Always look forward to your videos.

[@PSAdventures]

Hey there! Thank you so much! 💗 The sea turtle was so sweet, and how about all the fish that stayed by its side the whole time! It was like her group of friends. 🐠

[@Youneedalife.]

I recommend Lido Key Beach,Sarsota there is a great kayak/paddleboard maze at Ted Sperling Park. And also offers tours and has a nice nature trail as well. We absolutely love it. Keep up the goodtimes! Very inspiring..❤🎉

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you for watching and for sharing such a wonderful place to paddle! 💗 We love Sarasota, Siesta Key, and the Lido Key area! Actually, we did a video in the mangrove tunnels of Ted Sperling Park a couple years ago! Did you see this one? ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvLYpR6jrGEj5o We had rented the kayaks from the launch area and had a great time! Not sure if it would be wise to take out the inflatable paddleboard through the tunnels though. 🤔

[@briankerr4512]

Nice to see some more of Florida ... while enjoying a black berry ferment .

[@PSAdventures]

Hmmm, delish! 😍

[@darrylalford8879]

That is awesome ! I have a cousin that lives in Niceville, not far from there. I need to go visit !

[@PSAdventures]

That would be a great place to live since it's not far from all of these beautiful beaches. I bet your cousin has some favorite local places. Enjoy if you go! 😊

[@darrylalford8879]

Thank you so much!! It was great meeting you and Robert! It's been hot in Florida but we're enjoying the sunshine. Enjoy your adventures as well, and our paths will surely cross again! 🥰

[@captkimmy]

I started going to the area in 2000! They were not as crowed as it is today! Left the area in 2019! Grayton bch state park I have camped there many times! Site number 8 and 10 are the best views of the water! Happy u got to see it! I use to work at the Red Bar!

[@PSAdventures]

It sounds like you got to enjoy Grayton Beach for quite a while! Did you see a lot of wildlife when you went over the years? We were blown away by how beautiful it was. What a great area to work! Thanks for sharing Capt Kimmy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Victory1981]

Just amazingly awesome! The campsite was like a small parking lot…lol. The clarity of the water is like a spring. Great stuff!

[@PSAdventures]

It was such a huge camping spot! We probably could have fit our van in there many times over. And you said it right! The water clarity was so clear like many springs in Florida. We'll never forget this one!

[@putapipi3531]

That water is unbelievable beautiful

[@PSAdventures]

Yes! It is so clear and blue! 💗

[@kerrydennard4921]

Hey guys can't watch video right now in fort Myers Beach looking at the recovery from Ian looks good just as long ways to go when we get home tomorrow will definitely be the first thing hope you guys are having a great

Hey there!! We hope you love this one. ❤️ Wow, must be great to see the progress of rebuilding that beautiful town! Have a wonderful day!

They are strong and they're making much progress but none of the condos on the ocean occupied looks like years of work still need to be done

It definitely was! Grayton Beach has such a nice campground! 😊

[@bobsmythe1439]

Welcome to my home! i grew up in that area. The beaches are like no others.. memories

[@PSAdventures]

Hi! It's such a wonderful place! It would be hard to ever leave the beach!

[@FloridaandBeyond]

We were supposed to go to Grayton Beach this summer but ran out of time. We did visit Navarre Beach, which is beautiful too! Panhandle beaches are so beautiful! I wanted to see a sea turtle, but the waves were too much the day we visited Navarre. They had lots of Hammerhead sharks lol . Food looks delicious! Great video! ❤

[@PSAdventures]

Hey there! Thank you! We are absolutely in love with the Florida panhandle. We feel lucky and so thankful to have encountered so much beautiful wildlife. Not sure how we would have felt about seeing sharks out there, although we're so fascinated by them. Hammerheads are so neat!

[@FloridaandBeyond]

@@PSAdventures we have seen other people swimming with sharks on the east coast. Kind of neat and kind of scary! We just love living in Florida and the nature we get to enjoy everyday! Lol we live in places where people dream to vacation ! 😉

[@PSAdventures]

Yes that's a beautiful thing! 💗 we love having Florida as our home base 🌴🥥

[@FollowThomas]

It really is a beautiful beach and it's a state park! ⛱️

[@PSAdventures]

It's amazing how many state parks we have in Florida and this one is right up there at the top in beautiful beaches! So much to explore. Always great to hear from you Thomas! 😊

[@freemangriffin4953]

So this beach is way up in the panhandle? Surprised this is the gulf coast! It sure looks incredibly beautiful! (: (: (: Awww, what a sweet looking sea turtle! (: I always want to jump into the video and partake of the delicious looking food (: We were lucky today and the hurricane that was heading our way moved away out into the sea. I think this has been your most tranquil peaceful video ever! (: (: (: This is definitely now on my list of places I really want to go and see for myself! (:

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you Freeman! 💗 First of all, we are thankful that the hurricane didn't go your way! 😄 We're so happy you enjoyed this adventure! We actually haven't been out to the Florida panhandle too often because it just seems like such a far drive to get there, but it's absolutely gorgeous. Hope you get to enjoy this beautiful beach one day!

[@user-cy9nn9mw5l]

very cool, thanks for bringing us along!

[@PSAdventures]

Yay! Thanks for joining us on the adventure! ❤️

[@T_willey]

I love Grayton and the walking distance resturants

[@PSAdventures]

That's great to hear!! Next time we'll have to venture out of the campground. It was just so lovely! 😇🥰

[@T_willey]

Yes so if you do decide to ever rent a house get a gold cart because hurricanes, blue mountin and so much more are there

[@T_willey]

But in walking distance is red bar, chiringos cracking

You know One would think we'd get an electric pump for paddle boards. 😊 but it is a good workout 💪 💪👍 You guys are so cute together. Keep it up. Greetings fro Central Florida. 👍🐬🦎🏖⛵️🌞⛱️🌊🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🚣🏊‍♂️👍

[@PSAdventures]

Hey there! Welcome Central Florida! Thank you so much for the love! ❤️ It is definitely a good workout! We tend to keep things as simple as possible, and a little manual work is good for us. Who knows, maybe we'll break down and get an electric pump some day, but for now, it's even more incentive to get in the water to cool off! 😅

[@user-ko5hw1uc9w]

Bad chad here, lived in marianna. Been to the caverns and fishing there awsome. Really like your videos, were now moving to Nash TN in 2 months. Thankyou guys so muchh!

[@PSAdventures]

Haha! 😆 I don't know about famous but we definitely see a lot of fellow adventurers out here in Florida! It was so crazy swimming with that turtle! It kept an eye on me but seemed very peaceful with it's little fish friends tagging along. We'd go back to Grayton Beach anytime. Always great to hear from you guys! 😊💓🌊

I like beach

[@PSAdventures]

Us too! The beach is the best! 🏖️

[@ShootStraight84]

can't stop watching ... we are gonna drive 12 hours round trip just for this beach , I wonder what the water temp is in early July

[@PSAdventures]

Awesome!! We think it's worth it. 😄 The ocean water's probably starting to get warmer in July. It's so shallow over there that the water warms up quickly, but the cooler waters would feel nice compared to the warmth of the sun! Enjoy your trip!

[@ShootStraight84]

@@PSAdventures we have kids so shallow water is actually good and coming from Boston we want how everything over there lol we will have a blast

[@JD-sl1qs]

NO!!!! I’m a local and this has always been my favorite spot…please take down this video before the park gets even more overrun 😢😢

Great video. Which ROC paddle board do you use. It looks longer than most. We are looking to get one and yours looks really stable with both of you on it. Sincerely, Kim & Jeff

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you! 🥰 We love our ROC inflatable! If you want to take a look, here's a link to the different ROC boards: amzn.to/3BNxPwo We basically have the "Charcoal" version, although ours has some teal in it as well. The weight capacity is 350 pounds!

[@jhap33]

I am big fan of you guys! Can you please let me know what kind of paddle board do guys have? Where can i buy it? Thanks in advance!

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you so much for your question! We've loved the paddleboard we have for the past few years. It's a variation of this one: amzn.to/3OTG3du The colors are probably different now but that's where we got it from. The paddleboard cooler is this one: amzn.to/3IcqUQH We use it to bring drinks, our masks, and life vests. We hope you have a blast with it! It's gotten us to some cool places. 🤩

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

How far in advance did you have to make reservations?

[@PSAdventures]

Hi! Grayton is a very popular campground that is difficult to get into, especially if you're looking for a week at a time. The people we spoke to had booked it a year in advance as soon as the online reservation system allows. We're always on the lookout for last minute openings due to cancellations.

[@neuregel]

My girlfriend thinks she just passed you guys in NC on the 40 out by Asheville? Its because of you we took trip to kayak springs in Florida

[@PSAdventures]

Aww! 🥰 We're so happy to hear you spent some time at the springs! Which one did you visit? And no, that wasn't us, but the Carolinas sound wonderful this time of year! We are still in Florida right now. We're supposed to get a cool breeze this week! 😅
