History

Keaton Beach was originally owned by Captain Brown in the 1800's.  He had a successful business in the turpentine and sawmill business.  The community consisted of two houses, a sawmill, church, commissary, worker's homes and what became known as "The Old Pavilion".

"The Old Pavilion" was constructed in the early 1900's.  It had a small fish house with docks connecting to "The Old Pavilion".  It was used for a meeting place for family and friends.  During the day it was used to repair mullet nets and at night for entertainment such as country bands playing for square dances.  The "No Name Storm of the Century" was the buildings demise along with the motel, but the house, foundation and posts are still there and still offers the most unobstructed, breathtaking sunsets around.
