BEACH ACCESS:
Ed Walline Park is right in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach at Gulf Place where County Road 393 converges with Scenic 30A. This beach access has restroom facilities and two picnic pavilions that sit atop a dune overlooking the gorgeous gulf. In spite of its dune top location, there are ramps that meander down to the beautiful beach below so it is handicapped accessible as well. There is also a unique one-story Observation Desk for viewing the gulf beyond and it is a popular place to spot surfers and frolicking dolphins in the distance. Life Guards are on duty at the Ed Walline Beach Access during the summer season.
