Rosemary Beach

Rosemary Beach is a planned, unincorporated New Urbanism community on the Gulf coast in Walton County, Florida, bisected by CR 30A along the 30A corridor. It offers shops, restaurants, a hotel, public green spaces, swimming pools, and vacation rentals, so it suits visitors who want a walkable resort-style stay. The one thing to know is that Wikipedia says the beaches are limited to people staying in Rosemary Beach, and neither source gives current hours or describes the community's condition after the recent storm, so check before you go.
