Why The Neighborhood of Inlet Beach Along 30A Is The Perfect Place To Call Home

Introduced to the public during the 1920’s, Inlet Beach was also referred to as the “Soldier’s Beach”, as many young veterans of World War II availed of the land through a latter-day version of the Homestead Act. The name was eventually changed to the more fitting name “Inlet Beach”, and was perfectly described by one of its sales brochure from the 1920’s as “a fairyland of beauty tucked away in this secluded spot on the Gulf of Mexico, sheltered by encircling forests and flanked by the turquoise waters of Lake Powell”.

Unwinding in Inlet Beach is as easy as breathing its calming air, with its eclectic mix of world-class local restaurants to choose from, various shopping and entertainment establishments, largest coastal dune lake to explore and Camp Helen State park among other water parks just nearby. Deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, jet skiing and parasailing are also sure ways to have a fun-filled day in Inlet Beach with the surrounding Gulf bays and lakes.
