Situated in Florida's laid-back South Walton, towards the eastern edge of a sweeping stretch of coastline, the resort community of Rosemary Beach offers a winning combination of unspoiled natural splendor and gentle sophistication. The jaw-dropping beach is the star attraction, with its soft white sand, vivid blue waters, and swaying palm trees.

Things to do

Thrill-packed days around Rosemary Beach

You'll find a wealth of fun-filled attractions within easy reach of your Rosemary Beach vacation rental. A 20-minute drive will bring you to Gulf World, a mesmerizing marine park where you can marvel at sleek sharks, stately turtles, comical sea lions, and many other ocean dwellers. For a once-in-a-lifetime treat, you can even swim with playful bottlenose dolphins. Nearby Hidden Lagoon boasts the region's longest go-kart track, as well as exquisitely landscaped 18-hole mini golf courses. If you need a little break from the sun, Pier Park is a colossal shopping and entertainment complex, complete with bustling bars and sprawling department stores.

Activities

Aquatic adventures and retail therapy

Many come to Rosemary Beach simply to lounge around in the sun, but there's plenty to keep you occupied should you crave a more active getaway. It's a blast to explore the glistening waters by kayak or paddle board, or to don a snorkel and get up close and personal with colorful tropical fish. Naturally, the region is a haven for anglers, whether you're on the hunt for a prize-worthy catch or simply want to source your own mouth-wateringly fresh seafood feast. If you'd rather stay firmly on dry land, head into town and browse the beguiling selection of trinket-filled gift shops, cutting-edge galleries, and fabulous fashion stores.

Weather

A sun-kissed getaway at any time of year

Rosemary Beach's subtropical climate lures visitors throughout the year. If you're looking to escape chillier climes in winter, you can expect dry and sunny weather, although it may be a little too fresh to lounge around on the beach or run into the sea. Rosemary Beach vacation rentals are in high demand during the summer, but humidity can make things a little uncomfortable, while rain and thunder storms are relatively common. Spring and fall offer a winning combination of slightly milder temperatures and slightly fewer out-of-towners competing for a spot on the beach.

Natural features

Commune with nature on Rosemary Beach

Rosemary Beach lies amidst an expanse of jaw-dropping natural spectacle. It's just one of many pristine beaches on the South Walton coast, so you'll never run out of coastline to explore. If you're visiting between May and October, you stand a great chance of spotting sea turtles emerging from the ocean to lay their eggs on the powder-soft sand. Jump in a boat and head out across the waves to marvel at the local marine life, which includes playful dolphins, otherworldly rays, and sleek sharks. Or head a little inland to explore South Walton's serene state parks and rare coastal dune lakes.
