WALTON COUNTY BEACH ACCESS: Key Points to Remember
Walton County offers more than 50 beach and bay access points, making it easy to enjoy the 26 miles of coastline. While you are welcome to traverse the wet sand along the entire shoreline, be mindful of private property. Below are five of the closest beach access options:
Lake Causeway Beach Access (directly across from the subdivision) – Ideal for quick visits and scenic walks but limited in space for extended stays.
Fort Panic Beach Access (0.7 miles west) – A county managed beach with a boardwalk, sea oats, and a spacious shoreline. Amenities include parking, bike racks, showers, and restrooms.
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park (2.6 miles west) – A stunning, unspoiled coastal preserve offering a peaceful and secluded beach experience. The park features over three miles of pristine white sandy beaches, towering dunes, rare coastal dune lakes, and scenic hiking trails but requires an entry fee. This is an excellent spot for nature lovers, offering opportunities for birdwatching, fishing, and exploring Florida’s unique ecosystems.
Dune Allen Beach (0.9 miles west) – A modest access point across from Stinky’s Fish Camp, featuring a newer restroom pavilion with multi-stall restrooms, outdoor showers, benches, and bike parking.
Ed Walline Beach (0.8 miles east) – A popular spot near Gulf Place, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, and other local favorites. Features a covered pavilion with picnic tables, grills, and a second-floor balcony for Gulf views.

Peaceful and Relaxing
We had such a wonderful stay in this lovely home. It is so peaceful and relaxing! It is so quiet sitting on the porch and watching the trees swaying
in the breeze. And the beautiful ocean beach is just a 2 or 3 minute walk away.
Makes me think how blessed we are for God to give us such beauty to behold!

Great place to stay! We had 3 families! Beach is close and easy walk but the only downfall is the public access only allows about 30yds wide to setup between private owners and they don't play! We got up at 5am every morning to ensure we had a front row seat! Kids loved the bikes! Stayed during July 4th and it wasn't crowded at all!

This place is wonderful! The location is prime. 3 minutes walking to the beach. 2 minutes walking to gas station if needed. less than 1 mile from Shunk Gulley Bar, other restaurants and other beach access. House provides a lot of necessity items for kitchen, grilling and more. Great place to stay and enjoy a relaxing vacation.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Seas the Day in Dune Allen. The house was very comfortable, pretty and had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We loved that we could easily walk or ride to the beach. If needed we could run back to the house. There was always enough room for us at the beach. The community pool was nice too! We also liked being close to Gulf Place. Really enjoyed being at this end of 30A.

Second Year at Seas the Day
This is our second year in a row staying at Seas the Day in mid-June. Clean and well-maintained. Very comfortable beds and 3 full baths. Really appreciate the starter pack of dish detergent and laundry detergent. We cooked most meals and had everything we needed. A new perk this year is the use of four bikes, which is great. Easy to get in touch with management if necessary.
For the 2nd year in a row, this property was our home away from home for our annual family beach vacation. We had a great stay and will consider this property again for our next trip to the area..
Two ideas to improve the guest experience...
1. Replace the light fixture (or just the bulbs?) over the dining table. That area is too dark.
2. Remove the decorative glass jars in the bath on the main level and install a towel bar for hand towels next to the sink. A towel bar is also needed next to the sink in the hall bath upstairs.

I was worried about the small beach front. We went down early at about 7am to set up our tent and there was usually already people set up at the front but we still had a good spot. There was always room for us. The beach is so pretty we didn’t go to any other beaches. The house was overall clean bathrooms/kitchen but the floor was still pretty dirty. We had enough towels but there was a small starter pack of 6 dish pods, small laundry detergent, we had to buy extra of both plus trash bags, paper towel, toilet paper etc
Overall had a nice family vacay! It’s a good location easy to walk and the trail around oyster lake it pretty!

We enjoyed staying at this beach cottage! It’s very close to the beach. I’d say about a 5 minute easy walk. The beach area is public and it’s on the small side. The areas on either side of it is private and heavily monitored. We went down every morning about 9:30 or so to set up our umbrellas and chairs. Then we’d go back to the house and wait for everyone to get ready. We never experienced any issues with finding a good spot. We did notice other people being told to move if they were not within the public beach range. The beach house was comfortable and well equipped for a family of 8 including a toddler. Beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. We also used the grill one night for bbq One morning we took a walk down to Gulf Place where there are areas to shop and eat. It was an easy 10 minute walk even while strolling a toddler. There are 4 beach chairs and a wagon included which we used each day. However, we brought our own beach umbrellas and other beach items. All in all we had a great time visiting Santa Rosa Beach and staying in this beautiful house. Hope to come back again sometime.

This property met our needs. We travelled with 3 moms and 7 boys, aged 6-11. It showed some typical wear, but was clean overall.
There is one living area and it is near the downstairs bedroom. The seating in that living room is for 6, comfortably. So when it was time to relax, we were on top of each other a bit, given that we were a party 10. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with supplies, but remember your coffee filters, ziplocks and foil, etc…. The back porch felt secluded, even though we were very close to the other homes in the community. And sleeping was quiet and undisturbed by outside noises. The community pool was clean and easy to access. The community felt safe. The dune lake in the back was fun to paddle about, but our boys met little success fishing in it.
Reaching the beach was pleasantly easy, as there is a public beach access right across the street. That being said, the beach are where you can actually set up is very narrow, as private residences to either side enforce their “private property”. The result is that you are crowded next to other folks who are trying to do the same. So go with a friendly attitude, and be ready to meet your beach neighbors. The water was beautiful and clean!
We did not travel out to eat or shop much, but Stinkys Bait shop was right down the road as was a Tom Thumb for basic needs. We also used the Publix for grocery deliveries, etc.
While we didn’t have any cause to ring the owners, communication was easy.
This house is much more private than it appears from the street. The back porch looks out onto Oyster Lake and is secluded by trees and vegetation. It is tucked back off 30A so no road noise—but it’s only a 2 minute walk to the public beach access. It’s a narrow public beach that is aggressively policed by the neighboring properties—so if you need to set up a base camp you need to be careful where you set up. This was a beautiful location—about halfway between Gulf Place and Topsail State Park. Much less crowded than the bigger access points across from Stinky’s and Gulf Place. We biked to Grayton Beach (twice) and Seaside and to Topsail State Park, but found our sliver of public beach to be the nicest and least crowded. We spent some time at a nearby public park with skating, soccer fields and a splash pad and lots of shade..We had five teens and they played soccer and rugby one evening on a shaded soccer field. Also played “foot golf” at Watersound.
The house itself is extraordinarily comfortable for a rental. The beds are insanely comfy—all of them! The couches are also comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped—we cooked most nights. Huge pantry. Stocked with a small welcome kit so you can at least have coffee before getting groceries. And about that—don’t go to Publix on a Saturday afternoon or evening!!! Super crowded! Outdoor shower. Beach cart and chairs. Plenty of parking, although it’s a straight driveway and we had to rearrange cars a few times. Tastefully decorated and not outdated, and just flat out comfy as home!

Wow! Thank you, Jane, for this very detailed review of "Seas the Day!" Sounds like you had a true Destin|30A beach adventure! We would love to have you all back again to enjoy this lovely and comfy beach condo! -SkyRun Destin|30A Team
The place we stayed at Seas the Day was a wonderful place for our family vacation and in a great location. We found the home charming, clean, great extra amenities and met above our expectations. Communicating with the company was easy and they were timely. We will definitely book again. We found the access to the beach close and the public beach access wasn’t that far either. We appreciated having the use of the bikes(which we used daily) and the golf cart. They had a beach wagon which was super helpful as well. We didn’t use all the electrics or appliances but they had ample amount of stuff if we needed it! For example an oven toaster, a slow cooker etc. We loved having a top loader washing machine and dryer. We used it daily. They also had great WiFi. My husband had to do some work and it worked consistently for him. The community pool was very nice as well and heated. Kids enjoyed using the warm pool once the sun set. We greatly enjoyed our stay. One thing I’d recommend is to have some sort of dresser in each bedroom. They have large closets where we could hang things but it would be beneficial to have a dresser like thing to put other clothes. We used the nightstands as our dresser and it worked just fine but perhaps in the master bedroom a small dresser could fit in there. Thanks again and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review—we’re thrilled to hear Seas the Day exceeded your expectations and was such a great fit for your family vacation! It’s great to know you enjoyed the location, bikes, golf cart, and all the little extras, and that the WiFi and communication made things easy during your stay.
We really appreciate your feedback on the bedroom storage as well. There are dressers in the rooms, though they are not full-size, and your suggestion is helpful as we look at ways to improve the space and functionality.
Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Early Thanksgiving with the family
My wife and I were pleasantly surprized with this house. The kitchen was better equipped than my own kitchen and with very nice utensils. Everything around the house worked fine including the jacuzzi tub which was a favorite with my wife. The beds were firm and comfortable and the whole house was inviting to us. My four grandsons slept well in the one bedroom with the two bunkbeds. We think that we made a good choice to select this vacation house for our 7 day stay. (Thanks also for the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed that God provided right across the street on the beautiful beach)!!
