Located at 907 Scenic Gulf Drive, this new beach access boasts 400-feet of sugar-white sand along the Gulf of Mexico and showcases a coastal cottage design, mirroring the county’s other beach accesses. It features 18 vehicle parking spaces, nine golf cart parking spaces, bike parking, a large deck plaza, an ADA accessible boardwalk/dune walkover, restroom facilities, and a picnic pavilion with dune walkover.
The opening of the Scenic Gulf Drive access brings the total number of regional beach accesses in Walton County to 10. Work is also underway on two additional regional beach accesses; Seagrove Beach RBA in the heart of Seagrove Beach and Walton Dunes RBA in the Eastern Lake community.
Each regional beach access point includes parking, restroom facilities, beach flag condition information, and a lifeguard station. All regional and neighborhood beach accesses are built and maintained using the tourist development tax, a 5-percent tax collected on short-term rentals.
