Inlet beach. Unspoiled and enchanting.

Inlet Beach is the ideal location for an eco-minded community as it’s considered one of the most peaceful and secluded coastal enclaves in Florida’s necklace of beautiful Gulf beaches. Named for Phillips Inlet, the large lagoon on its eastern shore, Inlet Beach features uncrowded stretches of powder white sand and azure water. It’s also the home of Lake Powell, one of the largest coastal dune lakes in Florida. Rare worldwide and unique to this area, these wind-formed lakes find narrow, seasonal passages to the Gulf, allowing the continual exchange of salt water and fresh water. This creates a singularly diverse ecosystem—and a natural paradise for canoers, kayakers and nature lovers of all kinds.

Inlet Beach is bordered to the south by Camp Helen State Park, another marvelous venue for people who love the outdoors. With a naturally varying topography of coastal dunes, salt marshes and freshwater wetlands, this lovely park offers opportunities for swimming, beachcombing, nature study and hiking, as well as freshwater and saltwater fishing.

Both serious and amateur biking enthusiasts will want to cycle the picturesque Scenic Highway 30A, whose 18.5 miles of roads and greenways unfurl past the Gulf’s celebrated beach communities, each with its own unique architecture and ambiance. For those who love golf, there are beautiful Championship dunescape courses to play.

Although a natural sanctuary, Inlet Beach also provides the gateway to a host of wonderful resort activities. North of the community and all along the coast are marvelously quaint shops, designer outlets and original art galleries, as well as a range of dining options to suit every taste. In fact, six restaurants on the Emerald Coast were listed in the “Top 500 Restaurants in Florida” by Florida Trend Magazine. The Gulf Beaches are rich in cultural events, too, including music concerts, art shows and film festivals.
