I explored 3 beach towns in 'the Hamptons of the South'. One of the Florida gems was my favorite by a landslide.
Briefly

Alys Beach's architecture and design reflect luxury travel, with white stone structures and beautiful landscaping creating a Mediterranean feel that is exclusive and high-end.
Rosemary Beach, while charming with European vibes, felt too upscale for an authentic Florida vacation, making it less inviting despite its picturesque setting.
Seaside stands out as my favorite beach town in the 30A area due to its unique Florida vibe that combines upscale qualities with a relatable beach atmosphere.
The accessibility of the beach towns, particularly with bike rentals, enhances the experience at Seaside, making it easy to explore the area while enjoying a casual vibe.
