Customary Use
Customary Use

Monterey Condo 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
Geographic Overlays
FEMA flood zone (parcel): VE, X
FIRM panel: 12131C0716H, effective 12/30/2020
Base flood elevation: 12 ft
Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS): Outside all three
Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL): Landward
Evacuation zone: A
Critically eroded shoreline: Critical. Florida DEP designates the Seacrest Beach to Inlet Beach shoreline (R105.5 to R127.4) 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. Seacrest Beach is threatened by erosion of the bluff, and a 1.4-mile gap where nearly all building sits landward of the control line was added so the federal project could be managed as one stretch. The nearest point of that stretch sits about 1,050 feet from this building.
