Santa Rosa Beach

Reviewed By TheCowboyDiver - Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Hard to find parking, many trucks parked on the beach, several children harassing the sea gulls as their parents watched them swatted at them as the gulls were baited with food . Nice beach not sure it was worth the the drive of almost 3 hours. Pensacola or Orange beach would have been better. Beach is very clean and has life guard. Cowboy diver says this is a coin toss but if you’re going to eat Don’t go to a place called The Bay!

Rosemary Beach

Rosemary Beach is a neo-traditional town located on northwest Florida's gulf coast, between Panama City and Destin, at the eastern end of Scenic Route 30A. Easily accessible by air or by car, the town is a 30-minute drive from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and a one-hour drive from the Fort Walton Beach Okaloosa Airport. The Rosemary Beach Land Company and President Patrick Bienvenue had a vision they wanted to share with the world. In 1995, that vision became a reality and Rosemary Beach was born. Rosemary Beach Land Company’s development plan is founded in the principles of New Urbanism and Traditional Neighborhood Development. Inspired by other classic beach towns, the 107-acre, gulf-front town of Rosemary Beach was designed to bring back the notions of community, neighborhood and convenience. In other words, this slice of heaven on earth offers residents the opportunity to live and work in paradise. In their search for paradise, people often travel to the far corners of the earth, only to come up empty-handed. In reality, paradise is a lot closer than most people think. Long stretches of pristine beaches made up of the brightest of white sands. Refreshing breezes blowing off the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The peace and tranquility of gently lapping surf, singing gulls and sandpipers. These are things that have been quietly awaiting discovery in a section of Florida's panhandle. These are the ingredients that make up the town Rosemary Beach--paradise found.Residents of Rosemary Beach are lucky to not only live and work here, but also to have the opportunity to play here. When work is finished and the rest of the errands can wait, Rosemary Beach is the perfect location for a vacation. Mild year-round temperatures, yet still a change of season; spectacular beaches free from crowds; the natural beauty of a beach-side destination located on a designated scenic road; aesthetically-pleasing architecture and award-winning, expertly-designed layout; convenient and quaint town center, amenities such as tennis courts, pools, dune walkovers to the beach and lots of green areas in which to relax; these are the qualities of the new paradise of Rosemary Beach.

So let me get this straight. You want me to eat in your restaurants and spend money in your stores, but after dinner you forbid me from walking on your PUBLIC beach? Every beach entrance in Rosemary has a passcode lock on it. I understand that since I'm renting a house in Seagrove you see me as undesirable beach company, but give me a break. I still rate Rosemary with a "very good" because except for the snooty beach policy, it's an amazing beach town. Would it be so difficult to offer one public beach entrance?

Sundog Books

Reviewed By clairehs1974 - Nashville, Tennessee

This independent bookstore is such a delight. We look forward to visiting on every trip. When you walk in, the smell of something wonderful greets you. They have a great selection of books and the staff will help you find a particular book or make suggestions. There are also nice gift items such as mugs and totes with clever sayings, t-shirts and hats, and unique greeting cards. No, you are not getting your Barnes & Noble member discount, but you feel satisfied paying full price for books here to support the existence of this exceptional place. A bonus is that the buzzers from Great Southern restaurant work in Sundog Books, so you can peruse as you wait (and you will) for a table.

Camp Helen State Park

Reviewed By Nancy D - Augusta, Georgia, United States

Only 4 bucks (cash exact change on the honor system). This used to be a recreation area for Avondale mills. There are mounds and middens here giving evidence of human habitation going back thousands of years hence it is an historic site. You can sit in a rocking chair on the porch and enjoy the ocean breeze while others in your party stroll some of the trails. This inlet is a calm place for kyaking. Dune lakes are rare and one bordered Camp Helen State Park.

The bike trail goes for several miles and everyone uses bikes as they are so easy to park. The trail is well looked after and cars show respect to cyclists and give them priority on the bike trail.

Reviewed By ladolcevitaAtlanta - atlanta

I've enjoyed buying my oil and vinegar bottles at these tasting room outlets for years. Different companies, same concept. My favorite vinegars are Fig, Blackberry, Apricot to name a few. For a salad for 2 people, mix 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 1 Tablespoon of one of their vinegars, mix well, pour over salad and toss. Coffee Balsamic is also great drizzled over strawberries, or to marinate a steak. So many recipes to use these wonderful varieties of oils and balsamic vinegars. Better to do tastings when you aren't hungry. The young couple that run this place are delightful and eager to share their knowlege if you're a newbie. These bottles also make great gifts.
