We respect the beach and the dark.

At StarCoast, we believe a premium experience includes protecting the environment we operate in.

01. 100% Red Light Protocols

To protect Sea Turtles and your night vision, we operate in a strict "Red Light Only" environment. We provide red flashlights for all guests. Please, no white phone lights.

02. Leave No Trace

We love our beaches. We strictly follow Leave No Trace principles, ensuring nothing is left behind but footprints. We pack out everything we pack in.

03. 24 Guest Strict Cap

To keep the great views coming and our beaches accessible to all and remain in full compliance with local ordinances, we strictly limit every session to 24 guests (12 Late Night.) This ensures exclusivity for you and respect for the community.

Common Questions

Where exactly do we meet?

We operate at specific public beach accesses (listed above). Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation text with a direct Google Maps pin. We start 20 minutes after sunset, which helps ensure parking spots have opened up!

Can I use my flashlight?

Please, NO white lights or phone flashes. White light ruins night vision instantly and can disorient wildlife (turtles). We provide professional red lights for everyone to use safely.

What should we wear?

Dress warmer than you think! Standing still on the beach at night often feels 10–15° cooler than the daytime high. A light jacket is almost always a good idea.

Is this good for kids?

Yes! The Signature Sunset session is designed for ages 5+. We have step stools for the telescopes and the laser-guided tour moves fast to keep them engaged.

Refund Policy in Plain English?

Weather: If we cancel by 4 PM, you get a full refund. Guest Cancellation: Cancel 24+ hours in advance for a full refund. Inside 24 hours is non-refundable, but we can often move you to a later date.

Why the 24 person limit?

Small groups are better! It keeps the experience intimate (no lines) and ensures we comply with all Walton County ordinances regarding beach gatherings.

Are dogs or other pets allowed?

We love dogs, but strictly follow county ordinances regarding pets on the beach. To ensure safety around fragile equipment in the dark, no pets are allowed within the viewing circle. This includes well-behaved or "purse" dogs.

Are non-ticketed spectators allowed?

We operate on a public beach, so passersby are common. However, our permit strictly limits our group count. We respectfully request that non-ticketed individuals stay outside the red light perimeter to respect the experience of our paying guests.
