Sandy Toes Bungalows Construction Update: The Land Is Cleared in Beverly Beach, FL — Drone Video Inside

Part 2 of our ongoing Sandy Toes Bungalows series. New here? Start with Part 1: Sandy Toes Bungalows — A New 55+ Coastal Community Coming to Beverly Beach, FL.

If you've been following the buzz around Sandy Toes Bungalows — the new 55+ coastal bungalow community coming to Beverly Beach, FL — the project just hit its first major visible milestone: the land at 2896 N. Ocean Shore Blvd has been fully cleared, and we captured it all in overhead drone footage.

In this update, we'll walk you through what the drone video shows, why land clearing is a bigger milestone than most buyers realize, how the developer protected the coastal ecosystem during the process, and what active-adult buyers watching this stretch of A1A should be doing right now.

Watch: Overhead Drone Video of the Cleared Sandy Toes Bungalows Site

A listing photo can't show you what this footage does: scale and location context. From above, you can see exactly how the cleared parcel sits along A1A (N. Ocean Shore Blvd), how close the future bungalows will be to the Atlantic Ocean, and how the Intracoastal Waterway runs just to the west — the geography that makes this one of the most unusual 55+ community sites in Florida.

We're talking steps to the sand on one side and boating access on the other. That combination is what put Sandy Toes Bungalows on our radar in the first place, and the drone view makes it real.

Why Land Clearing Is a Major Development Milestone

To a casual observer, cleared land is just dirt. To anyone who has followed new construction in Flagler County, it's a signal that the project has moved from concept to execution. Land clearing generally means the site work phase has begun and the project timeline is no longer an idea — it's a schedule.

For buyers who have been watching from the sidelines since our first post, this is the moment the conversation changes from "someday" to "when."

Clearing Done With the Coast in Mind

One thing that stood out during this phase: the developer has made sustainability a core focus of the build. That includes protecting bee populations on the land during clearing and designing the site's drainage and layout to perform during Florida's heavy rain events.

On a barrier-island corridor like this one, smart stormwater design isn't a marketing line — it directly affects how a property performs during rainy season and hurricane season. It's one of the first questions we tell buyers to ask about any new construction on A1A, and it's encouraging to see it addressed this early.

A Quick Refresher: What Is Sandy Toes Bungalows?

Sandy Toes Bungalows is a curated collection of coastal bungalows under development at 2896 N. Ocean Shore Blvd, Beverly Beach, FL 32136, designed for active adults 55 and older who want low-maintenance coastal living. Highlights covered in our full Part 1 breakdown include:

• Steps-from-the-beach location directly on the A1A corridor between Flagler Beach and Marineland
• Private boat ramp access for residents — a rare amenity for a bungalow-style 55+ community, with the Intracoastal Waterway just to the west
• Single-level, open-concept bungalows built around indoor-outdoor coastal living
• Community gathering spaces and recreational areas designed to build connection among neighbors
• Sustainability-focused site design, from ecosystem protection to storm-ready drainage

Why New Construction on This Stretch of A1A Is So Rare

Here's what most buyers searching "new homes Beverly Beach FL" don't realize: this corridor is one of the last underbuilt stretches of A1A in the region. The Atlantic sits on one side, the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, and Beverly Beach itself is a tiny, low-density town known historically for small motels, RV resorts, and legacy beach cottages.

Ground-up, purpose-built new construction here — especially a 55+ community with beach proximity and boating access — essentially never comes to market. As prices climb in Flagler Beach and Palm Coast, buyers are looking a few miles north for the same lifestyle at a more attainable entry point, and Sandy Toes Bungalows is one of the first projects positioned to meet them there.

You can get a feel for what real estate along this corridor looks like today by browsing our A1A Properties page and our waterfront properties in Flagler County.

What Buyers Should Be Doing at This Stage

1. Get on the Interest List Now

Pricing and floor plans have not yet been publicly released. The developer is collecting interest through the Sandy Toes Bungalows website ahead of the official sales launch. In our experience with pre-construction communities in Flagler County, the buyers who register early consistently get the best selection of sites and floor plans.

2. Line Up Representation Before Reservations Open

Pre-construction purchases are not the same as buying a resale home. Builder and developer contracts are written to protect the builder — deposit structure, completion timelines, and upgrade pricing all deserve a careful review before you sign anything. Working with a local buyer's agent typically costs you nothing as a buyer, and it means someone is in your corner from the reservation through the final walk-through. See what else is being built in the area on our New Construction page.

3. Learn the Area Before the Crowd Arrives

Beverly Beach sits along the A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway, roughly 10–15 minutes from downtown Flagler Beach and the pier, 20–25 minutes from Palm Coast shopping and medical facilities, and about 30–35 minutes from historic St. Augustine. If you're relocating from out of state, spend a weekend here before reservations open — walk the beach, drive the corridor, and browse current Flagler Beach homes for sale to understand local values.
