Is this neighborhood considered as Miramar Beach, SRB or Destin? I know there's a green road sign before you get to Mack Bayou Rd on 98W that announces Miramar Bch... but the Sacred Heart Hospital lists Destin 32550 as its address.

I am new to the area as a home owner (SRB) and was curious....

Good question. We live up Mack Bayou Rd, and definitely do not consider ourselves as being in Miramar Beach. We always kind of wondered about that sign since we consider Miramar Beach as being west of us near the Winn Dixie. Our home post office is the one in SRB, not the one in Miramar Beach. I'm surprised the hospital lists Destin as it's address. It's not even in the same county as Destin. On their website it has their address as in Miramar Beach. So maybe I do live in Miramar Beach. There are a lot of oddities about addresses around here. You'll get used to it!

I think of the Sandestin resort as the dividing line between Miramar Beach and Santa Rosa Beach.

As for zip codes, their boundaries have very little to do with legal municipalities and their borders. If you live in Choctaw Beach, you still have a Niceville zip code, even though you're several miles inside Walton County and not sharing a border in any way with Niceville proper.

32550 is considered Miramar Beach, I believe all addresses down Mack Bayou are SRB. Sacred Heart and the MOB are all cosidered West Hwy 98 and considered Miramar. I wish that Sacred and many businesses located in Walton west of Mack Bayou would consider themselves Miramar instead of Destin but alas that 32550 zip is shared.

Thanks for the reply. Alas, I am still confused.

Per the US Postal Zip code lookup, the businesses at the Grand Blvd address- 625 Grand Blvd 32550 such as Publix, PF Changs etc. can be addressed as: Miramar Beach, Sandestin or Destin. The website won't accept SRB as a proper city in 32550.
