The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Grouper Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 970 feet out from the Inlet Beach access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Grouper Reef is at a depth of 12-21 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

About the area
Inlet Beach, Florida, is a serene coastal paradise that beckons travelers with its pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. This tranquil community on the eastern end of South Walton County is part of the renowned beaches of the Emerald Coast, offering a more relaxed and less crowded alternative to its bustling neighbors.
The beach itself is the star attraction, with miles of unspoiled shoreline perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. The gentle waves make it an ideal spot for families, while the clear waters are a haven for snorkelers and divers looking to explore the abundant marine life.
Inlet Beach is also a gateway to Camp Helen State Park, a hidden gem where visitors can enjoy hiking, bird watching, and freshwater fishing in Lake Powell, one of the largest coastal dune lakes in Florida. These rare ecosystems provide a unique backdrop for nature lovers and photographers alike.
For those interested in shopping and dining, the nearby 30A corridor offers a collection of quaint boutiques, art galleries, and gourmet restaurants. The area is known for its local seafood and farm-to-table cuisine, allowing visitors to savor the flavors of the Gulf Coast.
Cyclists and walkers will appreciate the Timpoochee Trail, a paved path that meanders along the coast, offering stunning views and a chance to explore the neighboring beach communities. Each town along the trail has its own character and charm, from the New Urbanist design of Rosemary Beach to the laid-back vibe of Seagrove.
Accommodations in Inlet Beach range from luxurious beachfront homes to cozy cottages, ensuring a comfortable stay for every type of traveler. The area's low-rise buildings and lack of commercialization help maintain a sense of seclusion and intimacy, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and relaxation.
Inlet Beach's location also makes it a convenient base for exploring the wider Panhandle region. Day trips to Panama City Beach or the state parks of the Emerald Coast offer additional adventures, from deep-sea fishing to exploring underwater caves.

Its tranquil atmosphere, combined with the allure of the Emerald Coast, makes it a perfect escape for travelers looking to unwind and enjoy the simpler pleasures of coastal living.
