Watersound: Completely closed off to non-residents?

Hey guys,

Are Watersound beaches closed off to non-residents? I've always been intrigued by the bridges and whatnot and the photos that were recently posted simply make me want to check it out even more ...

If memory serves me correctly, it's not really accessible (with the security gates and such) from 30-A. I guess I could walk west from Seacrest, but that's a bit of hike, is it not?

Heading down to Rosemary next week for vacay. (While I don't consider myself a sesaoned traveler ... South Walton is easily my most favorite place to visit in the world 😀)
