Seacrest Beach

Tucked between Camp Creek Lake, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach is a colorful beach community called Seacrest. Close to everything, but somehow quite relaxed, Seacrest is an ideal place to reconnect with friends and family. Bikes are the vehicle of choice here, except for the occasional golf cart loaded up with kids, coolers and sand buckets.

Arguably the “town center” of Seacrest, the Village of South Walton features several cute shops and restaurants, as well as a convenience store (Seacrest Sundries). The bubbling fountains out front are a persistent hit with bare-footed kids and weary parents seeking a momentary diversion.

In addition to the Seacrest’s gorgeous beaches, there’s also a 12,000 square foot swimming pool hidden in the expansive Seacrest neighborhood. One would think that it’s difficult to “hide” a 12,000 square foot pool, and yet, Seacrest somehow pulled it off. If you can find it (and if you’re a property guest), it’s certainly worth checking out.

For bonus points, try to find South Walton’s ‘hidden’ beach bar. Even most locals aren’t aware it exists, and yet it’s an amazing sand-side place to soak in some hot sun and cold libations.
