Rosemary Beach

With calm gulf waters, soothing rays of sunshine and silky sand beaches, Rosemary Beach, Florida is a great place to unwind and soak up the scenery.

Rosemary Beach's unique architecture is what first captures your attention, with its Dutch and West Indies-inspired homes and commercial buildings. Building palettes run to colors found in nature — mostly shades of rust, tan, green and brown — with Bermuda shutters, wide second floor porches and arched garage doors.

Gates and fences open in Rosemary Beach with a latchkey, with steps often leading to entrances on the second floor. Walls line both sides of the solid entryway steps, a feature right out of the Caribbean. Footpaths and boardwalks in Rosemary Beach lead to large decks over the dunes and, of course, to the beach below.

The overall effect in Rosemary Beach is pleasing to the eye — and, indeed, to all the senses — and makes Rosemary Beach seem completely different, classical and inspiring.

Established in 1995 and named for the dune rosemary, Rosemary Beach, Florida is still growing, adding not only homes, but also new places to shop and dine in the Town Center.

The new urban town of Rosemary Beach is named after the rosemary plants which grow among the sand dunes and along the pathways and trails. It is located two miles west of another upscale gulf front community, Carillon Beach, and six miles east of the well known Seaside.

Rosemary Beach is perfect for family relaxation and enjoyment, whether you want to swim in the Gulf of Mexico or the pools, play tennis, bike, enjoy leisurely strolls, shop, or just rest on a shady balcony and watch the world go by. You will love experiencing the idyllic lifestyle and beauty of Rosemary Beach.
