Insider’s Guide: Hidden 30A Beach Access Points Only Locals Know

July 7, 2025

30A is known for its iconic beaches and vibrant communities, but the locals have their own secret spots. Here are some lesser-known beach access points along 30A where you can enjoy the beauty of the Gulf without the crowds.
 

1. Dogwood-Thyme Beach Access – Seagrove Beach, FL

Tucked between private residences, Dogwood-Thyme Beach Access offers a quiet, unmarked path leading to pristine, uncrowded sands. There is minimal parking, making this a true locals-only spot that offers serene views and plenty of space to relax.
 

2. Walton Dunes Beach Access – Seagrove Beach, FL

Located at the end of Beachfront Trail in Seagrove, Walton Dunes provides rare free parking and a peaceful, wide beachfront. The calm atmosphere makes it ideal for sunbathing and leisurely Gulf dips without the buzz of the more popular beaches.
 

3. Dune Allen Regional Beach Access – Dune Allen Beach, FL

Though a regional access point, Dune Allen Beach remains one of the quieter public beaches on the western end of 30A. It has limited parking, yet a comfortable boardwalk leading to sugar-white sands, providing a laid-back vibe with easy access for those who are ‘in the know’.
 

4. Blue Mountain Beach Access – Blue Mountain Beach, FL

Set within a charming local community, Blue Mountain Beach Access is known for its less crowded shores and local favorites like Blue Mountain Creamery. Though the parking lot is small, the beach rewards visitors with stunning views and a relaxed, upscale feel.
 

5. Gulfview Heights Beach Access – Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Quiet and scenic, Gulfview Heights offers a secluded stretch of beach with picnic tables, a viewing deck, and a small parking area. It’s an excellent choice for those who want to spend a peaceful day near the water while remaining close to nearby local eateries.
