Please give crews room to work, follow posted signs and stay clear of closed walkovers. At Santa Clara, Scenic Gulf Drive and Miramar Beach, trash collection is currently available only on the upland side of the access, so please carry your beach trash back with you. An open beach access does not necessarily mean safe swimming conditions. Always check current beach warning flags and safety guidance before entering the water.

 

Thank you for your patience as crews continue cleanup and repairs. The beach may look a little different right now, but there are open places to enjoy Walton County’s shoreline.
