Other Things to Note:

Beach Access Instructions



To access the beach, use the beach boardwalk. Do NOT walk across the dunes. This is strictly prohibited and subject to fines. The dunes are federally protected.



This homeowner also owns the home across the street on the lagoon, known as "Lagoon Time". Lagoon Time guests have permission to use this private beach access by skirting along the side of the driveway and using the beach boardwalk to access the beach. The same courtesy applies in reverse: guests from the beachfront home ("Dear Time") may walk along the Lagoon Time driveway to access the lagoon path.

Again—no dunes may be crossed.



If you prefer a public beach, the nearest is 2.8 miles east at West Beach Pass. Cross the bridge, turn left to park, and walk across the street or use the path under the bridge.



After enjoying the beach, please use the outdoor shower beneath the home to rinse off before going inside.



For safety and property protection, an exterior security camera is present on-site.
