SeaCrest Beach access issues?

[Bobby J]

I have heard rumors over the past year that the Seacrest Beach area was not going to be able to Tram over to the beach where they currently access the beach. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject. Thanks.

I don't have any current or firsthand info, but what I understood about a year or so ago was that the neighborhood was looking to purchase an actual shuttle or other type of motor vehicle to provide the service, and Sunset Beach was pushing back on this. So the neighborhood has been sticking with the large golf carts for shuttle service.

But that is old info -- so if you or anybody else hears anything concrete, please post it here.

Seacrest Access

Bobby, take this with several grains of salt as I am trying to recall the information that I received years ago. The source was reliable, but my memory is not. My understanding is that the neigbhorhood across from Seacrest (Sunset I believe) signed an agreement to allow access based on X number of houses being built in Seacrest as communicated by the Seacrest developer. Instead, the number of houses greatly exceeded the agreement, and I think Sunset feels that they can get out of the contract. If this happens, it is going to be pretty overwhelming for Rosemary Beach as there are not too many options for Seacrest. I jog by these developments a few times a each week, day, and everything west of Seacrest is gated.

Seems I remember Rosemary posting guards on the west walkover one holiday week-end a few years ago because of complaints from owners about unauthorized use. Nabbed hundreds of users not staying at Rosemary, many from Seacrest Beach saying they were told it was ok to use. Wonder what will happen if ReDeMars is right and Seacrest Beach becomes "land-locked" like Prominence.
Not on thread, but has anyone else noted that the sales trailers at Prominence have been removed? What's going on there now?

It was my understanding that St. Joe was considering purchasing Prominence.

Seacrest has deeded beach access ... anything on your deed is pretty iron-clad. I don't see how legally it can become landlocked without an epic court battle.

It is correct that Seacrest residents and owners do not have any rights to access through Rosemary.

This is my understanding as well TFT.

Bobby J, you may want to contact IBD. She is currently on the HOA board and will have all the up-to-date info. As a homeowner, we have not received any notification in regards to our beach access. Not to say there may be negotiations in progress.

I actually Sold the unit that was in question so for now it seems all is ok. No restrictions noted.

Are you referring to the trailer that was at the base of the tower? That was moved ages ago to the west where they started clearing before it rolled and went belly up.
