Living in Inlet Beach
Inlet Beach is the last stop on 30A before Bay County, and it's one of the places I'd look first if you want to invest. There are still a lot of older houses here, but there's a lot of new building going on, and it's close to everything. After World War II, veterans won lots here by lottery, which is why some old-timers called it Soldiers Beach.
The beach access is a big deal. The Inlet Beach Regional Access is the biggest public beach access in the county, with about 13 acres of dunes, lots of parking, restrooms and showers, and the parking is still free.
Then there's 30Avenue, at US 98 and 30A. It was built to bring more shopping and restaurants to this end, and the tunnel under 98, which opened in 2024, makes it easy to get across without fighting traffic. South of 98 you're right on 30A, and the north side gets there easily too.
One thing to know: you can't take a golf cart or LSV into Rosemary Beach next door, because Rosemary doesn't allow them. You can bike or walk over, though.
North of 98, there are neighborhoods where you can invest in a rental. One of my clients has had a rental in Pinewood Preserve, a small neighborhood with a pool right in the middle, for years and has been very happy with it. Right now I'd say more people live full time on the north side than rent, but the rental side keeps growing.
And don't miss Camp Helen State Park, just across the county line. It's a nature park with trails, and one of them takes you back to old mounds. I've walked that trail and seen the mounds, and it always makes me wonder about the people who lived here more than 4,000 years ago. Lake Powell, the biggest coastal dune lake in Florida, sits right there too.
Things to know before you buy
- Many older streets have no HOA, but some newer neighborhoods add a CDD fee on top of HOA dues. Ask which applies.
- Some lots are on septic instead of sewer. Check before you buy.
- LSVs can use county streets posted 35 mph or less, but never US 98, which they can only cross at a light or four-way stop. A ticket there is $161, and the cart can be towed.
- No carts or LSVs inside Rosemary Beach.
- Phillips Inlet breaks open to the Gulf after heavy rain. If you're looking near the lake or the inlet, check the flood zone.
- Outside 30Avenue, you'll want a car or a bike.
- "Inlet Beach" can mean the old Gulf-side neighborhood or the whole 32461 mailing area, which takes in Rosemary Beach and neighborhoods north of 98. Search sites mix them up.
Questions buyers ask
Can I rent my home short-term?
In most of Inlet Beach, yes, with Walton County's yearly rental certificate. Some newer neighborhoods have their own rules, so check.
Is there an HOA?
Many older streets have none. Newer neighborhoods have HOAs, and some add a CDD fee.

Through the tunnel under US 98.
