Inlet Beach is the laid-back eastern gateway to Scenic Highway 30A—known for wide sugar-white sand, emerald water, and easy access to both beach days and town amenities. Start at Inlet Beach Regional Access (the area’s largest county beach access) with multiple dune walkovers, parking, restrooms, and seasonal lifeguards, then explore nearby dining and shopping at 30Avenue. For nature time, Camp Helen State Park sits just east of Inlet Beach, offering a rare mix of Gulf shoreline and Lake Powell views.
