Blue Mountain Beach

Founded as a small, quiet beach community, Blue Mountain Beach has managed to maintain its laid-back atmosphere, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape to that iconic coastal charm.
Despite its name, this beach town doesn’t boast towering peaks but instead gently rises to the highest elevation of a whopping 65 feet along Florida’s Gulf Coast. The “blue” in Blue Mountain Beach is said to come from the beautiful blue lupine flowers that once blanketed the area, painting the sandy dunes with a vibrant hue.

Cycling enthusiasts will find joy in the well-paved paths that wind through the community, offering a leisurely ride with stunning views of the emerald-green waters and sugar-white sands. The Timpoochee Trail, a 19-mile paved pathway, is perfect for exploring the natural beauty of South Walton, with stops at charming beach towns and hidden coastal lakes.
The local dining scene is as delightful as the surroundings. From fresh seafood to southern comfort dishes, the area’s restaurants offer a taste of the region’s rich culinary heritage. Stop by local favorites like Blue Mabel or Red Fish Taco, where the flavors are as vibrant as the setting.
