Rosemary Beach is one of Florida’s best vacation destinations. We absolutely love this idyllic beach community. Unlike bustling, party-centric Florida spots like South Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Rosemary Beach still has a small-town feel, even in the middle of their busy tourist season. There are so many reasons to love this unique 30A area but here are 8 of our favorite:
Florida coastal cuisine is amazing and the Gulf coast is home to many exceptional restaurants. Even in the relatively small communities along 30A, there is an assortment of highly-touted fine and casual dining establishments to visit. Rosemary Beach is full of delicious restaurants, many of them boasting this area’s specialty: fresh seafood. Enjoy a delicious date night at Restaurant Paradis, a Contemporary American Seafood restaurant with amazing cocktails and a drool-inducing menu selection. Or visit Edward’s Fine Food and Wine for their famous scallops. We also love Pescado, a pricey but impressive restaurant with a beautiful rooftop bar.
There’s something special about the charming, small-town feeling you experience in Rosemary Beach. In many ways, Rosemary Beach is like a world of its own – somehow separate and set apart from the busy world around it. It feels small and secluded when, in actuality, it’s very easy to access even if you have family or friends traveling to the area from out of state. Located along Florida’s scenic highway 30A, it’s also a relatively short drive from two airports nearby if you need to fly in or out. And Rosemary Beach is right beside a number of equally charming seaside towns like Watercolor, Seaside and Grayton Beach, all unique and worth a visit of their own.
Any list about Rosemary Beach that doesn’t mention the beach would be incomplete! After all, the beautiful beaches may be the number one reason Rosemary Beach is such a fantastic vacation getaway. The water on the Emerald Coast is brilliant, the sand white and smooth and the coastal sand dunes a unique natural feature you can only see in America in this area. No visit is complete without a beach day or a late night moonlit stroll.
One of the best things about visiting 30A is getting around town. In most situations, you can completely ditch the car and bike around instead. Two wheels are actually the most popular mode of transportation. There are biking paths and trails all over and it’s much easier to find a spot to park your bike than a car. We even wrote a 30A blog article about Getting Around 30A with all the info you need.

One thing we love about Florida is the laid back vibes. The slow, beach pace sets a mood of relaxation.

It’s the best atmosphere to unwind and decompress. Roll down the windows and feel the wind in your hair as you wind along the stunning scenic Highway 30A along Florida’s West Coast and feel your troubles sail away on the Gulf shore breeze.
