How far is the beach access for the Cottages at camp Creek?

Re: Beach Accesses - post here

Anything close to the West side of Eastern Lake? South Gulf Street? If not, looks like Seaside may be the closest for the Eastern Lakers? Our pool maintenance gal said that she saw people using the one at S. Gulf at Eastern Lake today but I know from last week before Dennis that it was washed out since Ivan and there was a 3-4 ft drop (again before Dennis). Any status on that walk over would be great!

Sadly- there is NO PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS FROM EASTERN LAKE RD
The 2 public accesses, at Ramsgate and at Eastern Lake on Gulf Dr are both CLOSED.

PLEASE do not try to use them. There are gulf front homes near them that have sustained serious damage (even if you don't see it) They will be further damaged by people illegally walking to the beach through their property. It was difficult to keep people off the dunes before, now it will be even harder. Already last night there was a family trampling one home's damaged vegetation to get to the beach, then let their kids play in what was left of the dunes!

The HOA at Summer's Edge is directing the owners and guests and others in the area to use the Lakewood Drive Beach Access. This is off Lakewood Drive just to the east of the lake. It is open.

This is a temporary condition! The accesses will be rebuilt soon and it will again be easy to reach the beautiful emerald water. :clap_1:

For now, educate your guests and neighbors. This will help keep them safe, the homes safe and avoid any unhappy confrontations with the sherriff who has been notified to remove trespassers who may be endangering themselves or the homes along the coast.

Is it correct then that the access @ Lakewood Dr. and Beachside Villas is usable and open?

Sea Turtle, I feel for you. I wonder where you can buy razor wire to keep those folks out? I guess the Bay Front properties, which usually fair well if not built on the ground, will soon become the hottest commodity in real estate. Plus, no one tramples through your yard to get to the Bay.

I posted picks somewhere in all of those photos. It was a 15'drop.

Base Jumping?

Thank you, Smiling Joe. (for ALL you do! :clap_1: )

We don't want to appear mean but it is a fine line to walk between keeping folks happy and keeping our homes safe!

Base Jumping?

That's a good plan for the trip down. What about the trip back up though?

Re: Beach Accesses - post here

We are coming down the 2nd week of August. We stay off 30A at Summer's Edge - Amazing Place. My question is this: will the beaches and businesses be back to some sort of normalicy or should we reschedule our trip?

I'm still waiting from the property owner on how the house held up.

Thanks from St. Louis

Yes, everything is basically normal now except beach accesses.

Walton Lakeshore at Inlet Beach is about a 5 min. drive east; Lakewood Drive is about a 5 min. drive west.
