If you are looking for high-rises, gooney golf, go cart tracks and the like your money is best spent in Destin. If you are looking for a laid back, picturesque, inviting stroll or bike ride the beaches of South Walton and Scenic Highway 30a is your place to be. Several family and children friendly condos, resorts, and communities. You can... More

Prettiest US beach I have ever seen, White sand. Clear water. It is an amazing. We drive from Texas every year to enjoy this beautiful place. The picture is of my sons in the gulf...not a pool or a bay. Unbelievably clear.

We were 5 minutes from the beach. The beach house rentals are beautiful and welcoming. The pools were conveniently located and the beach was beautiful and uncrowded. The beginning of May is the most ideal time to go. The shops around Sea Grove are interesting and quite pricy. Along with the restaurants. Great for a honeymoon or a family vacation,... More

My 2nd trip to the gulf and I can't say enough about the beaches. Can't wait to go back when the water is a bit warmer.

White sands and uncrowded in April. The weather was a bit cool and the water was cold, about what you should expect in early April.

This is a "renourished" beach which means man made. Nothing natural about it. Fine white sand, but huge dunes with protected growth on them that makes an ugly beach view.

White sand beach, great views, blue-green water and perfect tides equal a glorious beach. Sandwiched between overrated Panama City and Destin is this gem of a beach. The shops and restaurants are just right. Go early for a good parking spot unless you are staying in one of the local rentals or the State Park, which is also a gem.... More

All of the beaches in Santa Rosa are beautiful as described in the title of this review. Get there early for parking, bring just the essentials and enjoy....there are bathrooms at one and outdoor water faucets and showers at both.

Perfect sand, scenic view, peaceful atmosphere.....a beautiful beach that rivals those seen in Hawaii and the Caribbean. I would make the stop and stay for a long while!
