Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
by Kate Hamlin
Santa Rosa Beach Florida which comprises the area known as Scenic 30A or the Beaches of South Walton is located between Destin and Panama City Beach. The sand is white, the area abounds with world class "new urbanistic" communities and the waters are sparkling white turquoise. It's no surprise that Yahoo has just voted Santa Rosa Beach one of the best beach destinations for 2011 stating:
"Although this entire gallery could be filled with Florida beaches, there is one in particular that caught our eye this year. Recently celebrating its centennial anniversary, Santa Rosa Beach, and its long stretch of untouched sand and calm seas offers a quiet escape on the Hogtown Bayou. Though the lapping waves and cool sand are the main attractions, there is plenty to do inland, such as shopping, fine dining, and golfing, and exploring the town's many art galleries and nature trails. As one of the 13 communities of South Walton, Santa Rosa Beach is now easily reached by flying into Panama City's new airport."
Magnificent beach front homes are available for weekly rentals and while Santa Rosa Beach commands pricey rates, the homes are often large enough where the expense can often be split by several families for the beach vacation of a lifetime in paradise.
