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, Florida with a latchkey, with steps 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 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.
