Beach Access – Somewhere For Everyone

Undoubtedly the best part of where we live is the beach. We are "The Emerald Coast". Widely known around the world for our miles and miles of sugar white sand and gorgeous emerald waters. Our sand is so fine and clean that it squeaks underfoot. Home to 15 coastal dune lakes, a geographical feature so rare that it only exists in a handful of places on Earth. But perhaps one of the most amazing things about our beaches is that the very best belong to you, the beach-loving public. 

Many of the condos built on the Gulf have deeded beach front, and while there is a benefit to owning within these communities, that doesn't mean they're the only place worth owning. There are a number of public beach accesses in Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay counties making sure that no matter where you live or own the beach is always easily accessible. 

Finding your perfect beach is easy when you have so many choices. South Walton alone has over 50 beach and bay access locations along its 26 miles of shoreline. Types of access vary, so be sure to check before you go.
