2024 Map of Point Washington

About this map

Point Washington and the surrounding shoreline of Choctawhatchee Bay define this Walton County landscape, where the sheltered waters of Tucker Bayou meet the sprawling Point Washington State Forest. The map documents a contemporary coastal environment shaped by the Intracoastal Waterway and the dense wetlands of Devils Swamp. Along the southern edge, a string of planned communities including Seagrove Beach, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach line the Gulf of Mexico, separated from the northern bayous by miles of protected forest and the Flatwoods Forest Loop. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Wesley Cem and the Point Washington Community Cem, while the historic character of the region remains visible in the transition from the bay-side settlement at Choctaw to the modern beach developments and the preserved grounds of Eden Gardens State Park.
