Here's what I've seen or heard - I will post official stuff above. The county is still evaluating accesses and should start cleanup ASAP but they are dealing with the larger issue of damaged houses I'm sure.

Inlet Beach at Walton Lakeshore Drive - the drive on access is also a good place to walk on but not any parking.

Rosemary Beach has an access open at Western Green.

Seaside has access behind Roly Poly at Perspicacity market in the center of town.

Seaside will have walk on access behind roly poly at wedding pavillion.

WaterColor brought in a removeable metal WO after Arlene and they were able to remove it before Dennis and it is already back in place. It is main access behind beach club.

WaterSound - plenty of places to walk on if you're staying there.

Grayton - walk on, drive on with 4wd and permit.

Ed Walline at 393 - walk on beside WO.

Fort Panic Dune Allen - walk on beside WO.

Grayton Beach State Park and Topsail Hill State Park have walk on access, Deer Lake has no access.

My neighbor replaced their simple stairway to the beach after Ivan to the tune of 16 thousand dollars. House next to theirs was 14 thousand. My Sister in Sand Cliffs subdivision paid even more. We were lucky as only the last section of our walkway needed to be replaced and it was around two thousand. Not so simple is it?
Wow! I can't believe they're that expensive.

Kurt,

Nice picture. That is Mr. and Mrs. Paddlin under the two green and white beach umbrellas. The water is just incredilble right now. It is as clear as I have ever seen it. Some visitors have added wood to the path to the sand.

I haven't seen a list but will look for one.

The official list of open accesses are in the first post of this thread and kept updated. Things are moving slowly, however there are more accesses than shown on the first post, just not rebuilt.

So can I assume that this means there is no access in Blue Mountain? I don't know the area that well.

There is walk down access at the main access on hwy 83. there is a lot of construction and equipment there though. There are a few others nearby that are an easy drive or bike ride.

Can anyone tell me if the beach access at Beachside Condos has been rebuilt yet, or is at least in the process of rebuilding?
