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).
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)).

Why it matters
The 50 foot zone
No development is allowed within 50 feet landward of mean high water on Choctawhatchee Bay and its connected bayous, except boardwalks, public access and the landward part of permitted docks.
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
