The visual air navigation signage that once marked Grayton Beach for pilots has been restored on Defuniak Street in Grayton Beach, Florida after decades.

Residents and supporters have worked for many years to have the sign, which dates back to World War II, restored after it was paved over. In 2018, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners unanimously agreed to allow the Grayton Beach Neighborhood Association to repaint the Grayton Beach air navigation marker that was originally located on DeFuniak Street.

It was officially replaced and restored on June 14, 2019 by county workers to the delight and celebration of long-time residents, business owners and visitors alike.
