For my lovebirds spending time in the Miramar Beach/30A area, here's some great info on parking:

Part of the charm of South Walton is the strong culture of connectivity here – visitors leaving their cars behind and setting out to explore and interact on foot or by bike.

My friendship with Mike goes back to when he was my FAV bartender at Bonefish. Over the years I’ve kept my acquaintance with him, through jobs & mutual friends. Although I’ve always known him to be a happy, fun-loving man, I’ve never seen him as joyous & at peace as he is now, with Lance. It was my true pleasure to unite the two of them in marriage today. My heart is full! www.marryusmarie.com

Kieff & Francis had a beautiful wedding, surrounded by family & friends. A sand unity & of course my special touches of LOVE made their ceremony just perfect!
