Customary Use
Customary Use

Tides at Tops'l 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.

Critically eroded shoreline: Critical. Florida DEP designates the western Walton County shoreline (R1 to R23.6) 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. The beach restoration here was finished in 2007, and 800 more feet was added to the designation in 2014 so the federally authorized Walton County Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Project could be managed as one stretch. The nearest point of that stretch sits about 1,150 feet from this building.
