Patrones Hideaway in Grayton Beach Memories & Photos

I used to love to ride bikes through Patrone's! Loved the peacocks and the parrots! Thanks for sharing!!!!

In addition to the huge pig and the peacocks, I remember there always seemed to be a bunny rabbit or two that just wandered around the grounds. Grayt memories.

Miss Patrones to this very day. We used to rent boats there. Had so much fun. So may good memories. We still talk about all the good times we had.

I miss Patrone's. The parrots, shops, etc. Grayton changed the day Patrone's went away!!!!
:(

We miss it...

I try to tell people how big that pig was before it died

they think I'm making the whole thing up and where it lived

It was a very big pig...rabbits and peacocks roamed wild... artists hanging out... music in the air...

Rabbits. And the air conditioning of the "shops" was sprinklers spraying on the roofs.

That's called a swamp cooler.

Grayt memories!

I remember sitting there with hubby ,a cold beer and 2 kids running around chasing chickens. There was some young (17,I think?) man playing the guitar and singing and me asking him for an autograph because I told him "You will be famous some day and I want to have the first autograph you ever sign". I still have it and when I really miss him him I pull it out and look at the "Kenny O" scribbled on a napkin....

Great story. We all miss Kenny. So sad.

Grayton Beach was amazing when the roads were dirt.

I used to love riding my bike through Patrone's. The little shops, the parrots and the palapa.

Great parties on the palapa! Except for when Dave dove off and broke his neck that sucked. But he mended so that's good. lol

I just dug up some more photos and added them to the gallery:
