Walton County · Western 30A · Florida
Welcome to Dune Allen Beach
Dune Allen Beach is the western gateway to 30A, tucked between Santa Rosa Beach and the Sandestin area — a relaxed, low-key beach with wide sand and the Dune Allen Regional Beach Access. It's quieter and more residential than the pastel towns to the east.
