Watersound is an exclusive, gated coastal community where pristine dune landscapes, winding boardwalks, and architecturally cohesive homes create a serene and elegant escape along the 30A corridor. Known for its miles of protected shoreline, rolling dunes, and nature-forward design, the community offers a refined coastal lifestyle that blends environmental sensitivity with luxury living. Wooden pathways link every neighborhood directly to the Gulf of Mexico, while Deer Lake State Park and Camp Creek Lake border the community with rare wildlife, quiet beaches, and exceptional opportunities for paddleboarding, kayaking, and exploration. Watersound is ideal for those seeking privacy, natural beauty, and the sophistication of a thoughtfully master-planned community.
LIFESTYLE & LOCAL FLAVOR
Life in Watersound centers around its resort-quality amenities and peaceful, nature-immersed setting. Residents enjoy access to multiple pools, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, beautifully maintained parks, and the unique Yacht Pond — a favorite for remote-control boat racing. Miles of boardwalks and trails encourage biking, jogging, and strolls through dune preserves and pine forests.
The renowned Watersound Beach Club elevates the lifestyle even further with Gulf-front dining, a freeform resort pool, beach cabanas, a zero-entry children’s pool, private beach access, and seasonal events. Three top-rated golf courses — Camp Creek (Tom Fazio), Shark’s Tooth (Greg Norman), and Origins (Davis Love III) — sit just minutes away, offering exceptional recreation for golfers of all levels. While Watersound remains intentionally quiet and private, residents are a short drive from dining, shopping, and entertainment in WaterColor, Seaside, Alys Beach, and other vibrant 30A communities. With Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) just 31 miles away, access is convenient for both homeowners and visitors.
