Florida Beach Life

Explore the Shore in South Walton

Renowned for its brilliant sugar sand beaches and warm, almost unbelievably turquoise blue waters of the Gulf, Florida’s Emerald Coast is the perfect place to soak up some sun, relax by the shore, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon under the refreshing shade of a beach umbrella. 

 

All guests of The Pearl Hotel are able to relax on the private Florida beach with complimentary beach setups.  Each setup includes two canvas chairs and a spacious umbrella for shade. No reservations are needed; it's first-come, first-served, weather permitting.  Look for the distinctive black-and-white striped umbrellas that match the hotel's awnings and check-in with our beach attendants to enjoy complimentary sunscreen, towels, water, and beach games.

HELPFUL BEACH TIPS:

  • While we do not reserve beach setups in advance, rest assured that we have enough setups for all guests. Each reservation/room receives two (2) beach chairs and one (1) umbrella.  
  • If you would like a front-row seat, we recommend arriving early. However, if you prefer sleeping in, do not worry—our chairs are staggered, so you will be able to see the water no matter where you are seated.
  • To accommodate everyone's preferences, please refrain from holding chairs. If you need to leave your beach setup, please take your items with you. We will gladly assist you with a new setup upon your return.
  • Local Walton County regulations prevent us from serving alcoholic beverages and food on the beach. For your convenience, we offer Beach Bites as a to-go option, with orders available through your in-room iPad or by calling (850) 588-2882.
  • For your safety, please follow the beach flag warning system signaled at each beach access point. For conditions on the Gulf of Mexico and beach flag warning updates, text SAFETY to 31279.
