ABOUT DUNE ALLEN BEACH
Hidden? Not so much. A gem? Absolutely. A unique old-Florida vibe! What is that, you may ask? Think quaint cinder-block houses and weathered beach homes on stilts. Cool! Since this serene beach, pristine even, isn’t a big fan of change, it’s perfect for those looking to experience the charm of a bygone era.
And for those looking to catch some rays or explore the best of the best… the dreamy Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a must-visit. Imagine a three-mile stretch of undeveloped, practically untouched white sand beaches, bordered by 25-foot rolling dunes! Sure, you can take a tram to the beach, but wouldn’t you rather walk through towering pines and soft white sand in bare feet? Me too!
THE PEACEFUL SIDE.
At the quiet end of 30A, Dune Allen Beach is surrounded! By dune lakes! Tucked between Oyster Lake, Allen Lake, and Stallworth Lake, this fantastic community also shares her laid-back brilliance with Gulf Place. It’s easy to get to, so your gang has quick access to some of 30A’s best local attractions, without the hustle and bustle of busier areas.
FOLLOW THE LOCALS.
Founded on timber mills along Choctawhatchee Bay in the 1840s, tourism “took off” in 1884 with the arrival of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Dune Allen officially became a community in 1946 and earned its reputation as the “local’s beach.” When the Allen family opened it to families in 1958, would you believe there was just one house on the south side of Scenic 30A? Believe!
LESS BUSTLE. MORE SANDCASTLE.
Slow. Down. Take. It. Easy. That’s the vibe of Dune Allen Beach, known for its slow-paced, peaceful atmosphere, with a strong connection to nature. Unwinding is the mission of the day here, which is usually accomplished by basking, swimming, hiking, paddleboarding, biking, and doing absolutely nothing. With fewer visitors, seek out its secluded charm. Soon!
THE TOPS!
Alright, so you’ve heard all about Topsail Hill Preserve and those famous coastal dune lakes. Yes, Dune Allen’s natural beauty is surreal, but how do you soak it all in? Easy. Grab your binoculars, settle into the middle of the preserve, and let the wildlife come to you. But don’t enjoy those stunning sunsets all by your lonesome. Share it with the fam- Dune Allen’s magic is meant to be experienced together.
