Bayfront Community, Boating Access & Coastal Property Inspections in Walton County
Choctaw Beach is an unincorporated waterfront community located on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay in Walton County. Established in the mid-20th century, the area has long attracted boating and fishing enthusiasts due to its scenic bay access and easy connection to the Gulf of Mexico via East Pass.
Today, Choctaw Beach comprises waterfront cottages, bayfront homes, and modular residences that blend relaxed coastal living with privacy. The community is served by the Holmes County public services and Walton County fire protection, and remains largely residential in nature.
