Not long ago, our part of the Florida beach wasn’t so accommodating and easy to access. The area’s first visitors would come by boat, or travel 50 miles across the bay by ferry and through dense pine forests to reach our secret coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Before that, only natives, fishermen, and coastal travelers knew of our special white sand beaches and rich fishing. Understandably, these areas were sparsely populated with year-round residents, But slowly they started drawing visitors from all over during the season. The local Beach Camps grew, and gathered to form little summer towns dotting the coast. Those towns eventually grew into the incredible beach destinations they are today.
The Beach Camp was named to honor the humble beginnings of our little slice of paradise. Serving the slowed-down, coastal lifestyle with fresh, local inspirations – for residents and visitors alike.
