We took a long, early morning walk from our condo at Leeward to Deer Lake State Park. I know we don't have the trained eyes of a "local", but things look perfectly fine. No signs of damaged beach accesses, public or private. The beach seems to have more sand...Eastern Lake is completely closed back up. There is a lot of natural debris; seaweed, shells and pieces of jelly fish. We saw what looked like a strange, spikey fat fish washed up on shore. There is very little "trash"...nothing like any given day in June/July! It was awesome just to experience the natural beauty of the beach! There's a row of wooden beach chairs and umbrellas set up at Eastern Shores. I'm assuming the beaches are open, many beach walkers as well. Looking forward to spending our last few days on the beach!
 
Thanks. Also saw a double row of chairs on the Sandestin cam and a TDC truck driving by. What I can see looks fine.
 
SoWal Beaches Open at Noon Today Under Double Red

Walton County beaches will remain closed this morning as damage assessment teams complete their work; however at noon, the sand and accesses will open to the public.

Double red flags will continue to fly due to high surf and rip current conditions. Double red flags mean the water is closed to the public. The public will be subject to ticketing and fines if the morning closure is disregarded.

Lifeguards will be setting up their towers and returning to the beaches today. Surf conditions will continue to be evaluated throughout the day. Beach flag conditions can be monitored at www.swfd.org and on South Walton Fire District’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/southwaltonfire . Conditions can also be monitored at www.visitsouthwalton.com.


Beach vendors will be allowed to access the beach areas this morning for set up but they must be finished with setup and off the beach by noon.
