'Redneck Riviera' no more, south Walton now draws celebs

GRAYTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Once a part of the "Redneck Riviera," the south Walton County strip along state road 30A has traded its jean shorts for designer labels, though pickup trucks remain in style.

Among those who frequent the area: country music stars Faith Hill, Kenney Chesney and Luke Bryan; actors Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn; NFL stars Tony Romo and Eli Manning; and even presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and Republican political consultant Karl Rove.
