Miramar Beach Home Inspector
Gulf Coast Retreat, Resort Living & Comprehensive Coastal Property Inspections
Miramar Beach, an unincorporated coastal community in Walton County, Florida, evolved from a modest fishing area once known as Shoals in the early 1900s. In 1927, Colonel Michael Grimaldi acquired the beachfront land and envisioned a Gulf‑front retirement and resort town—marking the beginning of its growth as a premier beach destination.
Today, Miramar Beach boasts sugar-white sand beaches, upscale resorts (including the famed Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort), and prime access to Scenic Highway 98 and Florida 30A. With a 2020 population of about 8,002, this community has become a year‑round haven for both vacationers and homeowners
