CARILLON BEACH AMENITIES DESCRIBED IN DEPTH
THE GULF OF MEXICO & BEACH: There are eight Dune Walkovers in Carillon Beach, leading to nearly a mile of beautiful white sandy beach on the Gulf of Mexico. There are endless opportunities for shelling, swimming, snorkeling, wake boarding, surfing, skim boarding, paddle boarding, sailing, kayaking, fishing, reading and relaxing. Start or end your days with a walk at sunrise or sunset on the beautiful Emerald Coast.
THE THREE POOLS: The Bellview Park Pool offers a heated pool during the cooler months and Spring Break, as well as a children’s pool for younger ones. The Lake Carillon Pool overlooks Lake Carillon and is also heated during cooler months. All pools have large deck areas with chaise lounges, tables, chairs, umbrellas and restrooms. The Beach Club Pool, centrally located within Carillon on the Gulf of Mexico, provides a place for gathering, swimming, or simply contemplating the Gulf view from the covered pavilion or pool deck.
BELLVIEW PARK is the perfect place to play after a relaxing day at the beach. Located on the West end of The Promenade, Bellview Park offers the Bellview Pool, a Playground, Basketball Court, two Tennis Courts, and a large green space perfect for a game of football, soccer or Frisbee.
THE BELL TOWER is the central area of the Carillon and can be heard throughout the village. The tower chimes the hour and plays seasonal tunes throughout the year.
THE VILLAGE GREEN is an area popular during the summer season for Monday night “Groovin’ on the Green” concerts and designated “movie nights” for children. At other times, the Village Green is the site of gorgeous weddings and events, although it is often just a simple place for families to play, enjoy ice cream or have a picnic lunch by Lake Carillon.
THE MEETING HOUSE is a beautiful little chapel overlooking Lake Carillon. The chapel is the site of weddings and offers non-denominational church services at 10:00 AM each Sunday.
LAKE CARILLON is a fun place for a walk to spot turtles, families of ducks and various species of fish and waterfowl. Lake Carillon also offers paddle board yoga classes, paddle board rentals as well as kayak rentals and catch and release fishing.
LAKE POWELL is a coastal dune lake, which is a rare ecosystem found only in the Florida Panhandle, Madagascar, Australia, and New Zealand. These lakes are freshwater lakes that, as the tide changes, exchange water with the Gulf of Mexico through a break in the beach. Lake Powell is the largest coastal dune lake in Florida and is designated as a “Pristine Florida Waterway”. A visit to Lake Powell via a walk down the beach is a great way to spend an afternoon wading in the warm water flowing into the Gulf.
TIMPOOCHEE TRAIL: Timpoochee Trail is an 18.6-mile trail, named after an influential Euchee Indian Chief, winding past dune lakes and state parks and beach access points through several charming beach neighborhoods. The trail parallels the entire length of Scenic Highway 30A from Inlet Beach to Dune Allen and is safe, wide, and relatively flat. It’s a perfect day trip for the family.
Carillon Beach is truly a special place that families, like us, return to year after year, making new memories and carrying on past traditions with every visit. We hope you decide to experience this special place with your family.
