Santa Rosa Beach

Santa Rosa Beach, which stretches 26 miles along Florida's northwest coast, is known for its bright white sand, emerald water, fine dining, and local art galleries and boutiques. Recent visitors recommend this beach town if you want to avoid the crowds at Panama City Beach or Destin. Vacationers can swim, sunbathe, explore sand dunes, bodysurf, and more at Santa Rosa Beach, Grayton Beach State Park, and Blue Mountain Beach.

Santa Rosa Beach, Florida's Emerald Coast's 26-mile Caribbean-quality beach, draws beachgoers for its tranquil turquoise waters and quartz-crystal sand. Despite recent hurricane damage, Santa Rosa Beach is open and ready for visitors. Sunbathe, bike, bird watch, and hike at nearby Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Topsail has 3.2 miles of secluded white sandy beaches in addition to a diverse range of natural resources.
