Overview

• Littrell’s BLB Beach Hut LLC filed a writ of mandamus on June 19 seeking a court order to compel the Walton County Sheriff’s Office to eject trespassers from his Santa Rosa Beach property.
• The sheriff’s office has refused enforcement requests, citing its policy of not commenting on pending litigation and emphasizing a customer-service approach to all calls.
• Despite installing “No Trespassing” signs and marking his beachfront boundaries with chairs and umbrellas, Littrell’s family reports daily harassment and has hired private security for protection.
• Under Florida law, sand below the high tide line is public and private ownership extends to the average high-water mark; a recent 2025 amendment restored local control over beach-access rules.
• Littrell joins a string of celebrities, including Sylvester Stallone, David Geffen and Barbra Streisand, in litigating to secure privacy and restrict public access to their waterfront estates.
