Local tips
A few pointers from our on-the-ground team.
-
Discover the heart of the 30A corridor.
While Seaside and Rosemary Beach get the spotlight, Santa Rosa Beach itself has a warmth and authenticity that is absolutely worth slowing down to appreciate. -
Visit Topsail Hill Preserve State Park.
Three rare coastal dune lakes, miles of pristine Gulf-front beach, and dramatic dune scenery. The tram ride out to the water builds anticipation that pays off spectacularly. -
Browse the local art galleries and boutiques along US-98.
Independently owned galleries, studios, and shops reflect the natural beauty and laid-back spirit of the area and make for the most meaningful souvenirs of any trip here. -
Paddle one of the coastal dune lakes.
Western Lake and Stallworth Lake offer incredibly scenic kayaking and paddleboarding experiences that most visitors never know exist. A truly rare geographic phenomenon found in few places on Earth. -
Ask locals where they like to eat.
The dining scene here is one of the most exciting on the Gulf Coast, and a simple question to your server or innkeeper almost always leads somewhere wonderful. -
Stay flexible and follow your instincts.
The most memorable Santa Rosa Beach moments tend to be unplanned. A trail walk that reveals a stunning lake view, or an impromptu detour that ends at the perfect sunset spot.
