Customary Use

Whispering Sands sits right on the Gulf. Along this coast, the wet sand below the mean high-water line is always open to the public. Where a beach has been rebuilt with public money, that open stretch can reach farther up, to a marked Erosion Control Line. The dry sand in front of it is private, with no public-use ruling on record. Reflects the public record as of June 2026.

Geographic Overlays

FEMA flood zone (parcel): X

FIRM panel: 12131C0657H, effective 12/30/2020

Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS): Outside all three

Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL): Seaward

Evacuation zone: A

Critically eroded shoreline: Critical. Florida DEP designates the Dune Allen and Blue Mountain Beach shoreline (R41 to R64) as critically eroded — the state's term for a beach where erosion now threatens buildings, roads, parks or habitat. A restored beach keeps that designation so it stays eligible for state money to maintain it. Part of this stretch carries the designation to protect the design of the county's proposed beach restoration. The nearest point of that stretch sits about 850 feet from this building.
