BLUE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS:
-Blue Mountain is a laid-back coastal gem celebrated for its natural beauty, relaxed pace, and small-town charm. As the highest elevation along Scenic Highway 30A, it offers scenic dune views, peaceful beaches, and some of the most stunning sunsets on the Gulf.

The area is dotted with beloved local spots, from homemade ice cream at Blue Mountain Beach Creamery to casual bites at Red Fish Taco and slow-smoked favorites from Blue Mabel Smokehouse. Locally owned shops, bike paths, and friendly gathering places add to the community feel, making Blue Mountain the perfect escape for those seeking an authentic, unhurried 30A experience.

-Just a short bike ride away is Gulf Place. A beach neighborhood where inspiration waits around every corner. Whether you’re a beach bum, foodie, shopper, or art lover, you’ll find your passion here. From live music venues to innovative art spaces, there’s a whole world to explore. Start your morning off right with a latte and sweet treat from Sunrise Coffee Co. After a walk along the shore or a quick dip in the gulf, grab a refreshingly cold local beer at Growler Garage. From Alabama ales to Florida sours, this local favorite brings brews to the beach.

When it’s time to head to dinner, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar’s fresh gulf seafood and views are unparalleled. And don’t forget to save room for dessert! Satisfy your sweet tooth with a Southern praline or waffle cone from Pecan Jack’s Ice Cream & Candy. Cava & Cakes and Shelby’s Beach Bar & Grill offer additional (and picture-perfect) sweet and savory favorites to round out your dining experience.

Activities for every interest abound in Gulf Place. Unwind with a reflexology massage or enzyme facial at Awakening Wellness Organic Spa. Explore the palm tree-lined streets and neighborhood shops at Gulf Place Town Center. Ultimately, the best part of beach life is kicking off your shoes and feeling the sand between your toes. For sunset strolls and inspiring views, drift down to the Ed Walline Regional Beach Access. With ample parking, restrooms, bike racks and proximity to lifeguards in season, it couldn’t be more welcoming.
