Leave No Trace
To keep our beaches clean and safe for both marine life and beachgoers, Walton County enforces Municipal Code 22-54 (g). This code prohibits beach chairs, umbrellas, tents and other personal items from being left unattended. Items left on the beach overnight (from one hour after dusk to one hour after sunrise) will be discarded unless otherwise permitted.
Your cooperation with this municipal code will ensure the area's beaches remain pristine while also ensuring that personal articles do not interfere with nesting sea turtles, beach maintenance and emergency vehicles.

Gulf Coast Sea Turtles
South Walton’s sugar-white sand beaches are a big draw for visitors, but they’re also home to some of the area’s tiniest residents. During the months of May through October, endangered sea turtles build nests in that sand and need the help and consideration of human beachgoers in order to thrive and survive. The two most common species of turtles in South Walton are Green Sea Turtles and Loggerheads. In the late spring and early summer, female sea turtles that were born in South Walton return to build nests. Later in the summer and in the early fall, the turtle eggs in the nests begin to hatch, and the hatchlings use light reflected off the surf to guide them into the ocean. South Walton has a dedicated team to help identify and protect the turtles, but there are things that beachgoers can do to make sure their efforts are a success:
- Prevent all lights from illuminating the beach – Turn off balcony and porch lights and draw blinds each night. Use only flashlights with red film covers (which are available at area businesses and the Visitor Information Center) as sea turtles become disoriented on their crawl back to the surf.
- Look but don’t touch – Do not disturb or handle any sea turtles, their eggs or their nests. All are violations of both federal and state laws.
- Don’t leave holes – Fill in any holes you dig, including holes left from sticking poles and beach umbrellas into the sand. This will ensure others don’t get injured and that you don’t create obstacles for nesting sea turtles.
- Keep the beach clean – Reduce litter by disposing of your trash properly and removing all personal items from the beach each night.
Sea Turtle Facts
Sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act.
Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles typically nest on our beaches.
Nesting season is May 1–Oct. 31.
Hatchlings are guided to the Gulf by the moon. White lights confuse them.
The temperature of the sand determines the sex of the hatchlings.
Sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs.
Mama sea turtles lay about 100 eggs in a nest and tend to lay 3–5 nests.
How You Can Help
Fill in large holes you dug on the beach.
Don’t leave chairs, tents, litter, or anything on the beach.
Don't use regular flashlights on the beach (use a red cover or red bulb).
Does your home have a Gulf view? Don't leave the curtains or blinds open at night.
Don't walk or play near a marked sea turtle nest.
