The WaterColor Community: More Than Just a Resort Stay

Staying at WaterColor Inn places guests in the heart of one of 30A’s most celebrated communities. WaterColor is a planned residential and resort development that has become a benchmark for thoughtful coastal design — wide pedestrian paths, native landscaping, and an architectural vocabulary that draws on the traditions of the Florida Gulf Coast.

Just a short stroll or bike ride to the west, guests cross 30A’s stunning Western Lake into Grayton Beach State Park. A few steps to the east leads into Seaside 30A — Seaside’s town center, boutiques, and legendary restaurants like Bud & Alley’s are all within easy reach.

The 30A Scenic Highway Bike Trail runs directly through the community, and with complimentary bikes provided to resort guests, cycling is the natural way to explore. WaterColor Town Center provides shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences without ever leaving the community. For a full guide to the area, visit visitsouthwalton.com.
