Looking for a secluded beach community away from rows of high-rise hotels, motels and condos and noisy congested traffic? Are you looking for a place where you can enjoy the beach the way it was meant to be enjoyed? Then Rosemary Beach is the place for you. Rosemary Beach is conveniently located at the east end of highway 30-A on the Gulf of Mexico's sugar-white beaches. At Rosemary Beach you can leisurely walk to the public square, plaza park, tennis courts, and swimming pool.

Rosemary Beach's architecture is the initial eye-opener. The architectural style of Rosemary Beach's homes and commercial buildings reflect the influence of the Dutch and West Indies and the houses of St. Augustine, the West Indies, New Orleans, and Charleston. Natural colors ranging from rust and tan to green and brown, Bermuda shutters, wide second-floor porches, and arched garage doors are reminiscent of the Dutch and West Indies. A Caribbean feature is the walls lining both sides of the solid entry way steps. Footpaths and boardwalks lead to large decks over the dunes from where the magnificent beach can be viewed.

The architectural theme is part of a so-called "New Urbanism," complete with a one-of-a-kind architectural theme. New homes and new shopping spots and places to dine in the Town Center continue to make Rosemary Beach the quaint place it is because it stays true to its individuality. The town center has a post office, town hall, and Italian inn.
