ABOUT CARILLON BEACH
Carillon Beach! Never heard of it? Though it may live in the shadow of its famous neighbors, this stunning stretch of the Emerald Coast is in a league of its own. A spectacular beachside community, gated and guarded, Carillon Beach delivers a more private, upscale vibe, far from the crowds.
Flip-flop along the dune paths to wide, pristine beaches or lounge by the stunning gulf-front pool. The central village offers cute eateries, fresh seafood spots, and a stylish wine-tasting shop. Like pastel homes and cozy cottages? Breezy porches and wide balconies? Of course you do. Carillon Beach is unmistakably its own kind of paradise.
WIN, WIN!
Between the east end of 30A and the west end of Panama City Beach, Carillon Beach provides easy access to the shops and dining options of both 30A and PCB, and checks off all the Emerald Coast boxes.
THANK YOU, LLOYD!
In 1991, Carillon Beach was designed as a luxury resort community with a New Urbanist layout similar to Seaside (but well before Seaside!) Lloyd Vogt, a renowned New Orleans architect, was engaged to develop the town plan. His love of historical preservation coupled with his knowledge of traditional urbanism formed the foundation of what Carillon has become today. Thank you, Mr. Vogt. Well done!

EMERALD WATERS, WHITE SANDS, FUN LAKE!
Yes, Carillon Beach has pristine white sands and the infamous clear, emerald waters. But there’s another side to this gorgeous community. Lake Carillon! A 13-acre freshwater lake brimming with local flora and fauna, this beauty includes lily pads, bass, and turtles, and the occasional migrating bird(s).
