Beach Access from Barefoot Bliss

Old Seagrove has one of the highest concentrations of public beach accesses on all of 30A — more than any other neighborhood. Most are quiet walk-ups tucked between the cottages, which is why this stretch stays calmer than the busier regional accesses near Seaside and Grayton. Here's how to think about the ones nearest the house.

Greenwood Access (#21) — Your Default, a 7-Minute Walk

Greenwood is the one to send everyone to. It sits one block south of Scenic 30A on Montgomery Street, directly south of the Greenwood subdivision — about a 7-minute walk or a quick spin on the golf cart from Barefoot Bliss. The address is 118 Montgomery Street.

It's a neighborhood access, which on 30A is a feature, not a downside: neighborhood accesses are primarily for walk-up or bicycle traffic, so you get a quieter, more local stretch of sand instead of a crowded parking-lot scene. Greenwood offers bike racks, an outdoor shower, and amazing gulf views — the outdoor shower is the real luxury here, since you can rinse the sand off before the walk home.

Gardenia Access (#22) — A Few Minutes Farther East

If Greenwood feels busy on a peak summer afternoon, Gardenia is the easy backup. It's at 3016 East Scenic Highway 30A and includes bike racks plus a beach-condition flag so you can check the surf before you commit.

Similar quiet neighborhood feel, just a little farther down 30A.

Andalusia Access (#20) — Quietest of the Three

Andalusia is at 52 South Andalusia Street and is one of the most beautiful accesses in Walton County. A touch farther west, a little more tucked away, and usually the least crowded of the nearby options.

Worth the extra few minutes on the cart when you want space.

The Regional Accesses

When the day calls for restrooms, lifeguards, and full amenities — a long day with grandparents or little kids — head to one of the regional accesses instead.

The gear question

What to Bring (We Provide a Lot of It)

Barefoot Bliss is stocked with beach chairs, an umbrella, a beach cart for hauling, and a small assortment of toys. You don't need to rent a setup unless you specifically want the assembled service.

Beach Rules

The local move: golf cart to Greenwood in the morning, lunch back at the house on the lanai, then a sunset walk down the beach without the cooler. That's a 30A day.
