Inlet Beach - how does it compare?

Inlet Beach is pretty okay. Loads better then PCB, but not as nice as the rest of 30a in my opinion...

In my opinion, Inlet Beach is a hidden gem for those who do not need to be walking distance from a bistro or a bocce ball tourney. Nice beach, great public access, nowhere near as crowded as points east or west. If, however you do need to be within a stroll of lots of stuff, you might look elsewhere.

Just going for the beach, we usually eat in. As long as the beach and water are as nice and there is a grocery store close by I am ok. Is there anything close enough by to ride bikes to?

Rosemary Beach is in biking and walking distance. Inlet Beach gets slightly off reviews because it is off Scenic 30A (just off) which means you have to deal with noise and traffic of Hwy 98. Not that big a deal though - you also have Shades, Spicy Noodle and the Terrace right there. Publix is just over the lake and county line, as well as Carillon Beach shopping and dining. Then you have Camp Helen State Park and the lake itself to enjoy.

Looking at a place in Inlet Beach, how does this beach compare to Sea Grove? Anyone know if the Ice Cream truck comes thru there?

I <3 the Ice Cream Truck!

We love Inlet Beach. We rent there every year. And stay in the part of Inlet Beach off of 98, we hear no noise from 98, 30A in itself is right off of 98 by Shades on the Loop. And as for the beaches along 30A, same beach and water. It does not have to be on 30A for it to be nice. And there also is the Winn Dixie grocery store maybe about a half mile to 3/4 of a mile down the road in Bay County, it is on the south side of 98, or PC Beach Pkwy.
