Inlet Beach

Inlet Beach blends Old-Florida charm with modern conveniences, anchored by South Walton’s largest public beach access—generous parking, ADA ramps, and clean facilities keep the shoreline welcoming and pleasantly uncrowded. Powdery white sand, clear Gulf water, and the rare coastal dune lake Lake Powell shape daily life, offering morning birdwatching, gentle swims, and peaceful sunset strolls. A mix of quaint cottages and newer homes reflects steady, respectful growth while protected dunes and local conservation efforts preserve scenic views and wildlife habitat for residents and visitors alike.

Beyond the beaches, Inlet Beach balances quiet residential rhythms with a growing town center of restaurants, cafés, and independent shops that serve both year-round residents and seasonal visitors. Its spot along the 30A corridor provides easy access to nearby attractions while retaining a low-key pace at home. Marinas, public boat ramps, and calm bay routes support boating, paddleboarding, and family fishing; community events, volunteer dune stewardship, and family programs keep neighbors connected and help protect the natural assets that make the town special.
