Welcome to Dune Allen Beach

An eco-tourism paradise with unparalleled natural splendor.
 
Immerse yourself in the picturesque serenity of Dune Allen Beach, a small village located between Miramar and Blue Mountain Beach in Florida. Here, the emerald and turquoise waters of the Gulf meld into the shores, and state parks offer fully encapsulating beauty.
 
Stately new-build beach houses mix with long-standing cottages in this staggeringly scenic open stretch of paradise. Known for its rich natural settings, Dune Allen Beach is located next to five coastal dune lakes—Allen, Stallworth, Morris, Oyster, and Campbell—and has some of Walton County’s finest stretches of untouched, sugar-white beaches.

Things to Do

Explore the sublime scenery at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, where the quartz dunes that gave the park its name emerge from the ground to crest along the coast like the caps of great waves or giant sails stretching out and out. With three miles of beaches, an impressive array of coastal ecosystems, trails, opportunities for boating, biking, fishing, hiking, and more, Topsail is a paradise for those whose joy is found in nature. 
 
Dune Allen is also a participant in several of Walton County’s impressive festivals, all of which seek to foster community and bring those from all walks of life to slow down and enjoy the moment.
