WaterColor Beach Club
The newly renovated WaterColor Beach Club is the crown jewel of this 30A community. It features 3 pools with unobstructed Gulf views and lots of deck space for sunbathing. It also includes a bar & grill with TVs for watching sports. Take a few minutes to watch an awesome video 30A.com put together on the new WaterColor Beach Club...
WaterColor was designed to enhance the natural beauty that surrounds this beach haven bordering the Gulf of Mexico and South Walton’s largest coastal dune lake. This 30A FL beach community was built with sustainability in mind to create a small-town vibe that allowed for the natural landscape to be kept intact. Care was taken to protect the tall pine and scrub oak trees of the Western Lake while modern amenities were added to create the upscale feel.
The timeless architecture draws upon southern influences, with large wraparound porches, wooden columns and siding. Local vegetation flourishes and adventure is never far from reach in WaterColor. The community was designed to be explored by foot or bike, with little need for other means of transportation.
