Said to be the highest point on the Gulf of Mexico (at a whopping elevation of 64 feet), Blue Mountain Beach is hardly a mountain, but at least they got the beach part right. And as for the blue? It probably originated from the blue lupine flowers that still flourish here between homes.
Consisting mostly of private residences, Blue Mountain Beach is also home to a few funky local businesses, sprinkled in for good measure like the lupines. Don’t miss a chance to marvel at Justin Gaffrey’s art gallery (look for the funky old pick-up truck that’s parked on the dusty road). For The Health Of It is a favorite local health food store, right across 30A from an assortment of great local restaurants and pubs that cater to the other end of the dietary spectrum. Looking for bike rentals or repairs? The team at Big Daddy’s is ever-helpful, and hey, you’re on the highest point in South Walton, so it’s all downhill from here….
