Blue Mountain Beach prides itself on its laid back attitude and towering beauty. It’s local legend that the first passing sailors mistook the community’s towering sand dunes (covered with Blue Lupine flowers) for mountains after many long months spent at sea. Known for outdoor adventures like hiking through cypress swamps and pine groves, biking and kayaking, Blue Mountain has one of the highest elevations found along the coast, resulting in some of the best views of the Gulf. Blue Mountain Beach offers a glimpse of “vintage beach” with its relaxed neighborly feel, ice cream shop, bakery, bike rentals and restaurants. It’s a fantastic place to buy a beach home.
