Getting to Blue Mountain Beach Florida 30A public access and what’s the parking like? 🌞 Florida travel blog

Hi there!

 

So there are many 30A beach towns and many beach access points along the 30A Florida scenic highway.

 

 

Blue Mountain Beach is one of the spots where you can get public beach access for a 30A beach.

 

 

 

Private beach at Blue Mountain Beach

 

While there is a section of Blue Mountain Beach that is a public beach, there is also private property right next to this public portion of the beach.

This means that there’s limited beach access.

There will likely be signs informing you of this.

You are allowed on the private beach only if you keep moving. (Meaning, you can make it a beach walk along the shoreline.)
