Little Lake at Grayton Beach

[Matt J]

Great! Thanks, we will just try the public access. We are staying at GulfPlace. Any suggestions for things there, or nearby that we need to do?

In Gulf place you have Amore as mentioned above, there is also My Daddy's Cheesecake Factory, and Smiling Fish. Not far from there is Enzo's for a full Italian menu. Stinky's fish camp isn't too far down the road and excellent food. Further down the road is Elmo's, this is a kids favorite.

Just a suggestion...when your kids play in the water at the local lakes, it's always been a good idea (in my family) to put either alcohol or peroxide in their ears for a few seconds when they go up after their showers. We, kids, always got ear aches from too much lake water in our ears. It just takes a few seconds and saves many days of aches.

And that would be rubbing alcohol, not drinking alcohol, whereby if you need some you can ride down the road a few miles and purchase some at Blue Mountain Liquors, located in Blue Mtn. Beach. tee hee. Thanks.

It's not just lake water, happens to kids a lot with pool water too.

I grew up as a swim team kid and some of the pools we practiced in could get pretty nasty. We always did the alcohol in the ears thing after practice to cut down on ear infection rates.

Could someone please tell me what the "yellow slide crew" is and why "little lake" is so much fun for the kids? I'm can't seem to find out any information on either of them.

Thanks

Let's not forget Draper Lake just down the road from Gulf Place. Use the beach access behind Goatfeathers. Hang a left at the end of the stairs and walk about 200 yards...

My kids are 10, 9, 5, and 2, and we'll be in Grayton for our family's annual 2-week vacation beginning June 28th. Our kids have always called it the "Little Water". They spend more time there than the ocean, and you don't have to worry about the small ones in the waves. Bring nets for small fish and crabs. They can spend hours fishing, giving the adults lots of time for sitting on the beach enjoying cold beverages.

I have a 3 and 5 year old... We LOVE the "little lake" and are there almost every weekend. The locals (especially those of us with kids) love it because we can buy beach access passes for our 4-wheel drive vehicles and can drive our car-loads of toys, coolers, chairs, towels, etc. right out onto the beach. No need to lug all the stuff and children.

There is really no need to lug it out there, whether you have a truck or not. That "little lake" offers so much entertainment for kids. They can find a stick, shells, seaweed, etc, and make a fish and crab fort, swim, play, splash, etc. Kids can be very creative if given the right tools, which usually means no tools.

Could someone please tell me what "little lake" is and where to find it?
Thanks!
