Ed Walline Regional Beach Access - Park in Santa Rosa Beach - 4447 W County Hwy 30A, USA

We love Ed Walline Beach Access! Decent amount of parking, compared to other accesses. It has 3 showers I think, and nice bathrooms! Lifeguard presence during season, and the beach is normally pretty deep! I will see it gets pretty busy as expected, but handles the traffic well! Also I love the pic-nic area to escape the sun and eat/relax we needed! We love doing our beach bonfires here!

Jan 2024– Met life guard Carl here. So nice and loved his job and the department he worked with! Have always loved this beach. It’s very sentimental to me. Was watched by the government here for a while but I still enjoyed my experience and will continue to visit and hopefully won’t feel such a big brother presence but hey at least we know they are trying to keep the people safe :)

Beautiful wide beach with white sand. The beach access offers restrooms, picnic pavilion, and showers. We were there in January, and parking was not an issue. However, there were only 40-50 parking spaces, which will not be enough in peak season. The sand on the beach was very nice to walk on. We will be back...

Ed Waline Becah access is handicap accessible and it is very easy to get down to the beach. There is a decent amount of parking here as well. If you plan on having a beach bonfire at this access with Captain Zac’s. We recommend grabbing a watermelon margarita from Shunk gulley on your way down. All you need to start off a great 30A vacation is a margarita in hand, relaxing by a warm bonfire with Captain Zac’s while making memories you and your family will cherish forever.

Sunrise facing Gulf of Mexico. A wonderful breeze coming across the water to the beach. Today there were Sandpipers and Seagulls.

Wow! What can I say? This was an unplanned stop and all I can say is that sometimes those spontaneous stops lead to the absolute BEST discoveries!! Met some wonderful people and even had a serenade for our Anniversary. The view was stunning and this place created a memory that will last a lifetime.

Even though it was after noon the beach access was free of trash & handicapped accessible. That’s a big deal to me & my grandmother. They have a couple of park benches in front. The only issue I have is parking, it is very limited & I’m not speaking on handicapped parking. We always use a golf cart & we always have to circle around a couple of times. The positive side is there is always someone packing their car & about to leave. Let me also say that I rarely give 5 stars because everyone has room for improvement.

This public parking was epic! Parking was easy and it was so clean and absolutely gorgeous. The water was glorious and the sands were white as snow. Perfect place to catch the sunset!
