Ever dream of living on the beach
This meandering 19-mile stretch of panhandle road, tucked between Destin and Panama City, is actually a string of small beach towns. Deliberately arranged fixtures — from a grove of live oaks to a promon-tory overlooking the Gulf of Mexico — set 30A apart. Seaside fostered an innovative impulse that is the germ of 30A’s identity. Planned communities modeled after Seaside can found on both ends of 30A. Stroll the shaded boardwalks of Rosemary Beach and you’ll think you’ve strayed into Charleston. Just down the road lies the bleach-white enclave of the Mediterranean of Alys Beach. WaterColor is a wonderland of parks and Old Florida-style homes. Spectacular architecture embodies the 30A life- style as much as the emerald-green water. Most residents call 30A home by choice. “We just decided to move to the beach” is how the story usually begins. 30A is a different kind of paradise.
