Rosemary Beach

Rosemary Beach is a neo-traditional town located in Panama City Beach, along Florida's Gulf Coast. It can be reached by airplane or car and is just a half hour drive from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. The town was created in 1995. The Rosemary Beach Land Company developed a plan that was based in New Urbanism and Traditional Neighborhood Development. It was modeled after classic beach towns of the past. Located on 107 acres, the town is a close-knit community that offers all of the conveniences needed to live comfortably. The town features long stretches of clean, white sand beaches, breezes that blow in off the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife and year-round mild temperatures. The area is clean and free of heavy traffic, hustle and bustle and crowds. People live and work in the town and many of them are able to walk to work. The town features pedestrian footpaths, secret pathways, boardwalks, tennis courts, swimming pools and a Town Square. Everything is within a five minute walk of the town center, which is surrounded by Town Hall, shops, restaurants and the post office. Unique features in the town include Dune Walkovers, a Butterfly Garden and several community parks. The town hosts an annual spring writer's conference that brings together groups of talented writers and world famous authors for instruction, networking and book signings.
