Cortez Beach
Editor's take
With a 4.7 rating from 2,703 reviews and consistent “clean/beautiful” visitor praise (plus standout sunsets), Cortez Beach is a top, well-loved Gulf option.
What visitors say
Visitors rave about sand, water clarity, and sunsets, but call out limited amenities—especially no bathrooms and some seaweed/trash concerns.
Cortez Beach is a pretty, natural Gulf beach with white sand, shells, clear water, and an overall local feel. Strong sunsets and seasonal lifeguards add to the appeal.
