Concrete seawall cap along a Santa Rosa Beach waterway

SANTA ROSA BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Santa Rosa Beach

Seawall repair in Santa Rosa Beach starts with Walton County’s rule that new vertical seawalls and bulkheads are prohibited along Choctawhatchee Bay (Walton LDC Sec. 4.03.03.B).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Santa Rosa Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who work within it.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

The one exception

A lot between two lots that already have seawalls may get a seawall no longer than 150 feet. Elsewhere, revetments, riprap or vegetation are required instead.

Who can do the work

Walton County certifies marine contractors to build or repair docks, boathouses, seawalls, bulkheads, piers and boatlifts (County Code Sec. 6-67(d)).

A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.

  • On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
  • Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
