Beach Access Guide
Seagrove Beach Access
Seagrove Beach is one of the original communities on 30A, predating the planned developments that would later define the highway. This authentic beach community has a local, lived-in character that many visitors prefer over the newer, more polished towns. The beach access points in Seagrove lead to a wide, beautiful stretch of Gulf shoreline.
The beach at Seagrove is generously wide with fine white sand and clear emerald water. The community's older, more established character means mature dune vegetation and a natural feel that's different from the carefully landscaped newer communities. There's an authenticity to Seagrove that resonates with visitors who want a genuine Florida beach experience.
Seagrove Beach is home to some of 30A's most beloved dining institutions. Cafe Thirty-A (technically at the Seagrove-Seacrest border) and Old Florida Fish House are local favorites. The community also has Cerulean Park with farmers' markets and community events, and the famous 30A Christmas tree during the holidays.
Bonfires at Seagrove Beach offer a more laid-back, "real" 30A experience compared to the manicured resort communities. The locals here are welcoming, the beach is beautiful, and the atmosphere is unpretentious. It's an excellent choice for guests who want authenticity over luxury.
