The beach! Public Access point features limited parking,. restrooms, shower/rinsing station. 10 minute walk.
One to two miles west of Grayton Beach and Sand Reef Cottage- Said to be the highest point anywhere on the Gulf of Mexico (at a whopping elevation of 64 feet), “Blue Mountain Beach” is hardly a mountain… but at least they got the beach part right. As for the blue? Folks say it likely originated from the blue lupine flowers that still flourish between the homes here. At one time, they blanketed these Gulf-side hills. Today, Blue Mountain Beach consists mostly of private residences, but like the lupines, there are also a few funky local businesses sprinkled in for good measure. Don’t miss a chance to marvel at Justin Gaffrey’s Art Gallery (look for the colorful paintings that are frequently on display on dusty road on the north side of 30A). For The Health Of It is a favorite local health food store. Right across 30A is an assortment of great local restaurants and pubs that cater to the other end of the dietary spectrum. Looking for bike rentals or repairs? The team at Big Daddy’s is ever-helpful, and hey, you’re already atop the highest point in South Walton, so it’s all downhill from here….

Enjoy the calm waters and white sand of Blue Mountain Beach and don’t forget to watch at least one sunset!
Beautiful beach with clear water and gorgeous sand. Had clean restrooms and a hose to clean off with at the top of the hill. Is not handicap accessible (stairs only) and is not very public friendly with extremely limited parking. We saw cops patrolling and ticketing persons not parking in designated spots. Be sure to arrive early to find parking!
