WaterColor is Blooming!


ALONG THE COASTLINE of Northwest Florida's Panhandle is a master-planned community called WaterColor. It is located on Highway 30-A and is part of what the County advertises as the "Beaches of South Walton."

The atmosphere and flavor of WaterColor is a small southern coastal village with unique homes and neighborhoods. Amenities, leisure activities, and special events abound.

There's a town center, tennis center, fitness center, boathouse, docks, trails, and swimming pools. In addition, there are parks, gardens, an amphitheater, Western Lake, and plenty of bicycles to ride!

Also, boating, fishing, and golf are big attractions, and shoppers won't be disappointed. Beach-side dining at Fish-Out-of-Water will delight anyone who is hungry - and other places to eat are nearby.

WaterColor is a blooming beach retreat with 499 acres surrounded by nature and fronting the Gulf of Mexico. The little village welcomes permanent residents, part-time residents, and visitors. I have been a visitor many times through the years, and have enjoyed every experience. My belief is that it would be the same for you. At least, I can assure you of this: it is worth checking-out!
