    New photos: beach restoration progress

    This thread is FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. It's 2021, beachfront homeowners are having surveys done per procedure of WCSO to enforce their private property claims to the wet sand. They're also hiring security guards to guard their beach. What a cluster this county is becoming.

    Signs At The County Line

    These are the signs the TDC put up years ago down here AT THE BEACH and most on this board complained about them.I think it was because they were so big. The big blue signs on 30-A OH NO!...:banned::whitetrash:

    30A Rats

    Brace yourself, there are bears here too. And coyotes. Rats are common in every corner of the country and the world. Just because you're at a resort, doesn't mean the wildlife just goes away.

    Walton BCC District 5

    Born&Bread? Bread? My husband has this funny thing he asks when I think I know what I'm talking about, but really don't. He says, 'Honey, do you know how to make toast?' I say, 'Of course I know how to make toast.' He says 'Please, just stick to what you know and go make some toast.'...

    Headland Ave Beach Access Workshop 7/12/16

    The beach isn't the beach anymore. It's a business. And it sucks A$$ all the way around. Sad I live here and have no desire to even go down to the beach.

    ISO lawn care

    Our lawnmowers are down. Looking for someone to come knock down the grass on two lots. Not looking for immaculate yard or fancy landscaping or team of workers, I want ONE someone to just knock down weeds and keep it from getting snake-y until we can get our mowers running. Probably take about...

    Sea Lice

    It was on the news in my hometown in Georgia. In 13 years, I have never heard of sea lice. why? Maybe Georgia beaches are desperate for our tourists?? lol!

    Public vs Private Beach [threads merged]

    I had some relatives come down and they stayed in Sandestin. Don't even TRY to see the beach there. It is UNREAL with the chair set ups. And it's 60.00 per day. 30.00 for the chairs and 30.00 for the umbrella. lol! Kind of wish I had jumped on the beach chair business wagon years ago. ; )

    Bike Path on 395 North?

    Same ole song and dance...I would just like to be able to take a walk or bike ride without coming within inches of my life. And my kids would love a way to get to other streets and play with neighbors here without getting on the road to get there. I feel trapped on my dead end street.

    The reason we don't utilize the state parks is because there is no lifeguard. I have 2 kids so when we go to the beach, I want to be near the lifeguard station.

    The State parks do a great job keeping the dunes apart from 'customary use' with minimal posts and rope. Use the same logic with gulf front owners....especially the ones that have put out hundreds of feet of 'walkover'. They are all trying to establish new property lines for themselves.

    Happy2Bme, I'm in tears reading this post. First, let me say I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Every day my husband and I wake up and wonder if our son is still breathing air.

    Scenic 30a Open - Draper Lake Bridge Construction Complete

    I understand where you're coming from, but being the largest county and having little in the way of planning or foresight and poor infrastructure, we should have a higher standard here than mediocre pavers. They left a bowl in our street, so guess where it floods...yep, my yard.

    Scenic 30a Open - Draper Lake Bridge Construction Complete

    Does Walton county have a traffic engineering manager like Bay county? Just wondering if we have anything more than a road crew that half-ass fixes potholes. Those of you that have to deal with this already delayed bridge closing... I feel for ya.

    WCTA Endorses Feasibility Study

    Sun Chaser, very good points. It seems that here, our commissioners just don't give a rat's ass what 'stuff' looks like. I went to Kennesaw Georgia a few weeks ago and couldn't help but notice how manicured every street, shopping center, etc. looked, and plenty of trees! Then get back here to...

    Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

    I've declined to comment thus far. This has divided our community and it saddens me to read the insults by both sides. Now the NAACP is involved and we all know at this point in time, they are the biggest race-baiters in the game of making money off of racial division.

    Terra Mar Apartments Raising Rents

    I just drove through Terra Mar and the grounds are awful. The other place...Assisted living facility's landscaping is awful too. I predicted the front would be a pond after a little rain and it is. So then it can't be mowed because of the standing water. Yet, they water it. You'd think it would...

    Wanted Lost: family ring on west 30A beach

    Hey Mallory, I'm sorry about your ring. I don't know, but maybe the South Walton fire district has a lost and found? It's a long shot, but perhaps someone found it and turned it over to the lifeguard that day.:idontno: Fingers crossed!
