Is physically one of the very first towns along Scenic Highway 30A, and one of the first to be conceived. The Allen family created a retreat in 1940 that was vacation focused from the start. Today buyers will discover a vast selection of properties. Homes for sale in Dune Allen range from original lakeside cinder-block residences to incredible beachfront estates.
This "town" can be slightly confusing to those unfamiliar with South Walton and 30A. Technically, many of these communities are in Santa Rosa Beach. However, those who frequent our shores refer to the area between Dune Allen and Blue Mountain as Santa Rosa Beach. This area is centered on Gulf Place, a lifestyle center with shops, restaurants, and residences. Real Estate for Santa Rosa Beach is varied, and great values can still be found on condos and in tucked away neighborhoods.
No, there are no real mountains on 30A (there are plenty of hiking trails though). This funky, relaxed community was named by Spanish explorers, who noticed this was the highest elevation along the Gulf of Mexico, and the dunes were covered with Blue Lupine Flowers. There are still a few Blue Mountain Beach beachfront real estate values here; however, several celebrities have moved in, and demand here is rapidly increasing.
The funkiest of the funky 30A communities, it's often said that Grayton Beach is the heart and soul of South Walton. Sited in the center of Grayton Beach State Forrest and wedged between two coastal lakes, this free-spirited enclave is a protected development that will forever be the most unique and authentic community in Northwest Florida.
Developed by an organization that was once the largest private landholder in the state of Florida, the WaterColor community is home to an award-winning resort and incredible residential homes and condominiums.

Accredited with the birth of New Urbanism, Seaside, Florida, was established in 1982 with a clear focus to create a real sense of place. Walking is the preferred method of transportation, and this flourishing community is the unofficial capital of Scenic 30A. Real Estate opportunities in Seaside are limited, and many owners opt to pass on their properties to their children.
Established in 1940, this 2-mile long 30A community is one of the first built developments along this pristine stretch of the Emerald Coast.
