Inlet Beach, FL 32461

Inlet Beach lies at the eastern reaches of Walton Beach, where Scenic Highway 30A delivers guests to a quaint Old Florida town on 13 acres of pristine, protected dunes and the gentle waves of the Gulf of Mexico. But the beach is only half the attraction. Farther east is Camp Helen State Park and the vast reaches of Powell Lake, which combine to make this area an absolute wilderness wonderland, teeming with fish, birds, and other wildlife. The community is named after Powell Lake’s inlet from the Gulf, and many of the homes here date from the 1950s, as if the modern age hasn’t quite reached this far. Fortunately, a whole host of modern amenities have, and there are some fabulous restaurants on the north side of town along U.S. 98, which dips (just briefly) toward the beach. Inlet Beach is the perfect place to get away from it all but still have it all pretty close by.
