Location context

Forest Dunes Estates on the map

The map shows Forest Dunes Estates at Alligator Cove, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459. The map uses the best available point or outline for orientation, not as a legal survey.

Three Surviving Residential Parcels

Walton County separates three current single-family parcels from the State-owned portions of the former Forest Dunes family. That establishes a compact residential remnant, not an active park or broad neighborhood boundary.

Alligator Cove, Not The Park

The State park plan separately identifies Alligator Cove as a three-residence street. The surrounding park context does not turn the homes into park facilities, trails, entrances, or a park map.

Separate From Gulf Trace

Gulf Trace is a different residential scope. Nearby public land and similar naming context are not grounds to merge the communities.

Park Proximity Does Not Establish A Right

Park proximity does not establish an easement, lake use, beach route, dock right, parking right, trail connection, or amenity entitlement. Verify those details through current property documents.

A Point, Not A Boundary

The marker is a mean of documented residential parcel locations, not a polygon, survey, lot line, entrance, home location, parking direction, or public-access point.

What To Verify

For a specific residence, review current title, survey, plat, easements, declarations, association records, disclosures, insurance and flood information, and applicable approvals.

The County family must be separated before it is counted

Family 07-3S-19-25160 also contains a large State-owned park parcel, so counting every family record would erase the distinction this page is designed to preserve. The residential scope is limited to parcels 0040, 0050, and 0070, whose legal descriptions cover Lots 4 through 7; the State management plan independently calls Alligator Cove a street with three residences. Those two facts can coexist because parcel and residence counts answer different questions. For any lot, confirm title, survey, recorded access, utilities, permits, insurance, flood and environmental conditions, disclosures, restrictions, and the exact boundary between private land and park property.
