- BEACH ACCESS AND USE -
There are three great beach options near Beachside Villas:
- Port Property Access Public Beach at the end of San Roy Road
- Sugar Dunes Beach: Boardwalk Access Only
- Walton Dunes Beach at Beachfront Trail
- Deer Lake State Park

PORT PROPERTY ACCESS PUBLIC BEACH AT SAN ROY ROAD:
The Port Property Public Beach located at the end of San Roy Road is a 3-4 minute walk from Beachside Villas (1200 ft). It borders both Eastern Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. This is a large 2+ acre beach with plenty of room. Beach chairs and umbrella rental will not be available for the rental season of 2025, however there is ample room to bring your own beach gear or the chairs and umbrellas provided with the condo. As an added convenience to access this beach, Beachside Villas provides golf cart transportation (March 1st to October 31st) to/from this beach from the Beachside Villas near the mailboxes, just outside building 5.

SUGAR DUNES BEACH:
Sugar Dunes Beach is steps to the beach from Beachside Villas near Building 6 and is accessible via a boardwalk built by Walton County. https://sowal.com/place/sugar-dunes-access. The Sugar Dunes Beach is primarily private beach, but Florida Law allows the public to access the “wet sand” and the ocean. This means it is completely fine to enter using this boardwalk to walk the beach at the water's edge and of course swim. You may not set up chairs at this location. The beach becomes private at the dry sand.

WALTON DUNES AT BEACHFRONT TRAIL:
Walton Dunes is a Walton County managed public beach, available for use by all. It is only ¼ of a mile walk from Beachside Villas if you enter at the Sugar Dunes boardwalk and walk east on the beach (left turn off the boardwalk), which is about the same distance as the Eastern Lake Public Beach. The route via neighborhood roads to Walton Dunes is a bit longer than other options but is still readily accessible at about ¾ of a mile. There is public parking and bike racks near Walton Dunes Public Beach if you prefer to drive or ride your bike.

DEER LAKE STATE PARK:
Deer Lake is east of Walton Dunes and is only ½ of a mile from the Sugar Dunes Boardwalk by walking the beach, or just ¼ mile past Walton Dunes. Deer Lake is a large state park with extensive public beach. Deer Lake State Park has been recently updated with new facilities including the addition of a paved park access road with pay station, parking, picnic shelters, restrooms and connections to utilities. You may also ride your bike or drive about 1 ¾ miles to the entrance of Deer Lake State Park on 30A, where there are bike racks and parking. However, it is a relatively long walk from the park’s parking lot to the beach and therefore we recommend simply walking the beach to Deer Lake State Park.

- AREA ATTRACTIONS -
Beachside Villas is ideally located away from the crowds BUT very close to so many of the activities that bring people back to this part of the Panhandle year after year. SEASIDE is 4 miles away. The Big Chill in Watersound is only 2.2 miles away. You can rent bikes and travel along the beautiful bike paths to charming Rosemary Beach, Seaside, and Grayton Beach. Also, Deer Lake State Park is less than a mile down the beach with hiking trails and sand dunes. Top golf courses are nearby including Camp Creek and Santa Rosa Golf Club.

San Destin resort and the Silver Springs outlets are 20 minutes away. Also, miniature golf, Pier Park, Shell Island and water parks can be found nearby in Panama City or Destin.

The condo was clean and comfortable. The master bed was so comfortable I didn’t want to get out of it! All instructions are well written and clear. It was a nice stroll to the beach. Old Florida Fish House is just across the road from the subdivision. The location was perfect for our needs as we were attending events up and down 30A. We hope to stay here again. The owner was very responsive and kind. Thank you, Jackie, for a wonderful getaway!!!

This is a wonderful property in a great location. Perfect for beach access. You are just one building back from the boardwalk which accesses the beach. The unit is very nice, beds are very comfortable. You can walk out of the complex and down the street to the walking trail along 30A which is very nice. This is in the Seagrove area which we prefer because it is not as busy as Seaside. Plenty of great places to eat near by. We highly recommend it! We also enjoyed the pickleball court.
