"Rosemary Beach is one of several charming communities in 30A. It stands out for its architecture, which feels distinctly European-inspired, from the gas lanterns to the cobblestone streets. However, the many palm trees ensure it still feels like Florida. I'd describe Rosemary Beach's vibe as relaxed, a far cry from the hustle and bustle typically found in bigger cities like Fort Lauderdale and Miami."
"The small town is very walkable, making it especially convenient for families. We were traveling with our then-2-year-old and were easily able to get around to playgrounds, boutiques, restaurants, and the beach without ever needing to get in our car. There are dozens of rental properties just a short distance from the main downtown area, and we stayed in a villa by the Amphitheater at St. Augustine Green."
Florida locals find planning staycations easy, often driving to nearby beach towns. For an in-laws' March visit the family chose 30A, a stretch along the Emerald Coast between Destin and Panama City Beach, and stayed in Rosemary Beach. The town features European-inspired architecture—gas lanterns and cobblestone streets—tempered by palm trees that keep a Florida feel. The atmosphere is relaxed compared with Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The small town is highly walkable, enabling travel with a toddler to playgrounds, boutiques, restaurants, and the beach without using a car. Dozens of rentals sit close to downtown.
