Blue Mountain Beach

Charming local cafés, forest trails, and strict preservation keep its natural beauty and small-town character perfectly intact.

Welcome to Blue Mountain Beach

Sitting at the highest elevation (65 feet!) on the Florida’s Gulf Coast, this area offers unsurpassed views of the South Walton coastline with a wide variety of properties ranging from traditional beach cottages to upscale homes and condominiums.
