Seagrove Beach got its name from the thick grove of windswept oak trees along the beach. It is perfect for nature lovers seeking an unspoiled retreat and uncrowded environment. Enjoy canoeing, kayaking, swimming and more. Back in the 1940s and 1950s, families came to Seagrove Beach, Florida to rent modest one-story cottages with paddle fans instead of air conditioning and wide screened porches (perfect for sleeping). The same families returned year after year, and now second and third generations make the journey.
Many of those original cottages still exist but the area has seen significant growth over the last several years, with new condominiums, new neighborhoods and many new retail outlets and restaurants being built on a regular basis. Seagrove
Beach remains an area popular for mainly vacation rental, second home and investment properties.
Just up the road are art galleries and antique stores. Eastern and Deer Lakes make wonderful spots for quiet reflection, or put in a canoe or kayak for a day of exploration around the Seagrove Beach area.
