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 1,200 feet from this building.
