**BEACH ACCESS INFO**
There are 2 great beach options near Beachside Villas:
• The new public beach at the end of San Roy Road
• Walton Dunes public Beach at Beachfront Trail
---Public Beach Access at San Roy Road
The public beach access located at the end of San Roy Road is a 3-4 minute walk from Beachside Villas (1200 ft), but 10 or so minutes from our building 11. It borders both Eastern Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. It is the recommended beach for Beachside Villas owners and guests. This is a large 2+ acre beach with plenty of room. As an added convenience to access this beach, Beachside Villas provides golf cart transportation to/from this beach from the Beachside Villas mailbox. Please note that you may not park cars or golf carts at the end of San Roy Road, which are subject to immediate towing. Beachside Villas provides transportation via golf cart service from 9:15am to 4:45pm every day of the week, from May-1 through Aug-31. The Beachside Villas mailbox is the pickup/drop off point on Beachside Villas property. The golf cart will travel to/from the San Roy public beach.
Wrist bands are required for golf cart transport (and pool) access.
---Sugar Dunes Beach
Sugar Dunes Beach is steps to the beach from Beachside Villas near Building 6. Unfortunately, the beach is privately owned on both sides of the boardwalk. Anyone may access the boardwalk and beach, but only so far as to walk from the boardwalk to the water, and then turn either left or right and walk to either public beach area further down, which are the San Roy road beach, and Walton Dunes public beach.
---Walton Dunes public Beach at Beachfront Trail.
Walton Dunes Beach is 3⁄4 of a mile from Beachside Villas if you use neighborhood roads but only 1⁄4 of a mile if you enter at the Sugar Dunes boardwalk and walk east (left turn off the boardwalk) on the beach to Walton Dunes. The route via neighborhood roads is a bit longer walk than other options, but is still readily accessible. Using the boardwalk to get onto the beach and walking to Walton Dunes is about the same distance as to the beach at the end of San Roy road. Walton Dunes is a Walton County managed public beach, available for use by all. There is public parking and bike racks nearby, if you prefer to drive or ride your bike.
*PLEASE NOTE* there are currently no beach chair set up vendors allowed to provide service to any of the beaches for Beachside Villas. We provide 4 back pack chairs, 2 umbrellas, and a rolling cart for guests convenience.

Why they chose this property
We chose to buy this property because we fell in love with the 30 A area, and it is one of the quietest stretches of beach around.
