Welcome to Rosemary Beach
Architecturally beautiful with a bustling town square, this community offers breathtaking views and legendary sunsets
A high-end walkable community centered around the beach, this area is filled with cobblestone streets and intimate shops and eateries. Architecturally beautiful and extremely lively, Rosemary Beach is a predominantly neo-traditional beach community focusing on New Urbanism—the design style that places everything within a short walk of the town center.
There are lots of award-winning restaurants here and plenty of locally-owned shops and boutiques. Named one of “America’s Most Romantic Small Towns” by CNN, residents enjoy a wealth of welcoming patios and courtyards, plus lots of expansive greens, which play host to public art shows and weekly farmers’ markets.
Everywhere you turn, there are breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, and the sunsets here are legendary. Rosemary Beach real estate is situated along 107 acres, some of it gulf front, and neighborhoods are interconnected by a network of pedestrian lanes, footpaths, and boardwalks.
