Welcome to Seacrest Beach
Conveniently located between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, Seacrest Beach is very popular with vacationers and those seeking a second home on the eastern edge of Scenic 30A. The community as a whole is known for its Florida beach cottage-style homes, with clapboard siding, unique porch rail pickets, and colorful trim and shutters. However, newer neighborhoods feature Gulf-front estate homes, as well as condominiums. Among these newer areas is the neighborhood of Seacrest Beach.
Seacrest Beach is centered around a 12,000-square-foot lagoon-style swimming pool, available for use by all neighborhood residents and their guests. The lush, oasis-like pool is the largest swimming pool in South Walton County, and serves as a focal point for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Water’s Edge at Seacrest Beach is a popular gated neighborhood of single-family homes and home sites, while the Villas at Sunset Beach is a popular gated condominium complex adjacent to, and sharing the amenities of, Seacrest Beach. The Village of South Walton, with Charleston-inspired architecture, is a newer development of condominiums, shops and restaurants.
Peddlers Pavilion serves as the town square and heart of the entire community. Along with being home to a bike rental shop, eco-tour company, pizza restaurant and other businesses, the pavilion offers live music six nights a week during the summer.
Seacrest Beach Amenities & Real Estate for Sale
The Seacrest Beach community used to have a reputation for being "quiet" due to limited commercial development; however, new boutiques and restaurants have set up shop in recent years, and numerous other shopping and dining experiences are only a short walk or bike ride away in the nearby communities of Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach.
Among Seacrest Beach boutique shops are LMN, a woman's New York City-inspired fashion wear and accessory shop, and Ophelia, a high-end swimwear store. The Wickey Gallery has become noted for its offerings of stunning works by local artists, while Arriaga Originals is making a name for itself with its one-of-a-kind silver and gold jewelry. Among restaurants that have become highly popular are La Cocina, a gourmet Mexican restaurant, and Lola Coastal Italian, a family locally owned restaurant serving always in season creative dishes.
As with all south Walton beach communities, Seacrest Beach is popular in large part due to its sugar white sand and turquoise waters. But Seacrest Beach is also home to the highest sand dunes along 30A, and abuts Camp Creek Lake, which is considered the least developed and most scenic dune lake in Florida.
Visitors and homeowners alike have easy access to their favorite beaches through The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport only 21 miles northeast of Seacrest Beach in Panama City Beach, or the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport just under an hour away.
