While not as closely clustered as shops in some of the other planned communities, the fun, funky and fiercely independent retailers of Grayton Beach are certainly worth exploring.

North of Scenic Highway 30-A, there are the colorful Shops of Grayton, where you can find multiple talented artists including Saczynski Gallery, the Studio Gallery, Tip Top Design Company, Mary Hong Art Studio, and The Shard Shop.

Need a happy break between shops? Be sure to check out Grayt Scoops, Modus Photography, Nanbu Noodle Bar, Black Bear Bar Room, and Black Bear Bread Company.

Good food comes easy in Grayton too. Roux 30A is a well-kept locals’ secret for private dinners and extraordinary around-the-world dinners. If you’re craving pizza, try Pickle Factory, or if a one-of-a-kind sandwich/soup combo sounds appetizing, then pay a visit to Chanticleer Eatery, easily one of the best restaurants here. Grayton Corner Cafe is another delicious option for healthy lunch choices.

At the corner of 30-A and 283, you’ll see Grayton Corners, home of Beau Interiors, Grayton General Store, and several other retailers. Grayton General’s where you’ll find locals stocking up on ice, beer and beach supplies, along their daily way to the beach.

Head even further south, and you’ll hit the sand. But right before you do, stop by AJ’s Grayton Beach to listen to live music any night of the week. Or if a massage sounds relaxing then check out one of 30A Hot Spots, Grayton Beach Massage. You can also do some shopping by the beach at He Said…She Said and funky Zoo Gallery, sandwiched-in between the buzz and tunes at Chiringo’s and Red Bar.

Back on Hwy 30-A, just a few hundred yards toward Western Lake, you’ll discover Uptown Grayton, home to a nice collection of restaurants and shops, including Crackings, Badass Coffee, and Grayton Seafood Co. Shopping is plentiful with Summer House, Fashionably Late, Clint Eager Design, the Workshop, and Shaggy Dog Outfitters, just to name a few. But right before you land in Uptown Grayton, you’ll pass by MonetMonet where you can find Nicole Paloma’s designs as well as fine dining from Borago. Lululemon is the place you can rack up on the best of the best athletic wear.
