I have tried to get answers from rental companies but it seems they want to push me to rentals that have a private beach but I like to go different places along 30a in south walton. What is the situation? Or should I just stay in Destin? Thanks in advance!

I respectfully disagree with kaydence..been following closely. I'm local and don't see big change in destin or Miramar beach area....while I know this issue applies to all of us and we all want access to all our beaches ,it seems right now biggest disputes are in 30 a area

I posted the images of what's happening in Destin recently.

Anyone seen what beach vendors in Destin doing?

The reason it is more on 30A than other places is because the beaches west of Topsail State Park have been renourished to the Okaloosa line so the owners there only own to the Erosion Control Line (which is closer to the dunes) vs. The MHWL. That is because tax $$ where used to restore the beaches there.

Think confusion here... I was replying to customary use issue. Not beach chair rental... And no only seems combative on 30 a .. Them posts about chairs...been that way for couple yrs no changes there


Those chairs are preventing people from customarily using the beaches.

Only reason its combative on 30A is because folks are antagonizing a homeowner knowing he will call the police.

I'm all about customary use but I'm not about pissing people off just because its politically expedient to do so.

You can obviously go to any public beach. There's a large one on scenic gulf drive but you must stay off the dry sand area of private beaches with are prevalent through walton county.
