Alys Beach
There’s something truly special about the views in Alys Beach. Some say the architecture in Alys Beach is very similar to that of Santorini — with its pristine landscaping and building surrounded by cobblestone and courtyards. Lush green invites you to this beach, take it all in while you can.
Central Park Alys Beach
Speaking of Alys Beach, Central Park Alys Beach is definitely the perfect morning stroll as you take in the wonderland of nature. Enjoy a scenic picnic, throw a frisbee around, or read a book. There are truly so many things to enjoy at this park located in the wonderful community of Alys Beach.
Eastern Lake
A little blue goes a long way at Eastern Lake. Separated from the Gulf of Mexico by Sand Dunes, this shallow lake is tranquil — but that doesn’t mean you don’t capture the exciting wildlife that comes to enjoy the water as well. Sunbathe, sail, and kayak as you witness some of the bluest waters you have ever seen!
Dune Allen Beach Access
There is something about watching the water crash into the shoreline, and some pictures capture it exactly how you imagine. Dune Allen Beach Access is more than 200 feet of sugar sands. Ride your bike, hop on down to the sand, and glimpse the waves greeting the water.
Camp Creek Lake
Some wildflowers deserve their recognition and Camp Creek Lake is complemented with many beauties along its water. Go swimming or fish as you spend the day getting to know a little bit more about the nature of 30A.
Point Washington State Forest
Sometimes it’s easy to forget where we are when we are lost in between tall trees of green. Point Washington State Forest is located in Santa Rosa Beach and truly completes the outdoor experience. With sandhills, wet prairies, swamps, and tall forest trees — this spot is ideal for nature lovers.
Watersound Beach
Watersound Beach community is located by Deer Lake and Camp Creek Lake. Cottages, condos, and homes flood this neighborhood and come alongside an incredible beach club. Walk along the boardwalk and dip your toes into the calm water.
Marina Park
The ideal location for pretty much everything, Marina Park is close enough to the beaches to go enjoy the sand but far enough away to truly enjoy some quiet. This spot hosts plenty of weddings throughout the year as well as some pretty casual picnics from time to time.
Cerulean Park
It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly is the most stunning detail of Cerulean Park. Walk along the zigzag pathways and take in the calming waterway in between green grass. Perfect spot to ride your bike, go for a job, or casually spot a butterfly or two!
