About Santa Rosa
Beach
Santa Rosa Beach, located between Grayton Beach State Park and Seaside, is a coastal and low-rise Miramar Beach neighborhood with dune-backed shorelines and pine-flatwood trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 30A corridor near the County Highway 393 junction, where bike traffic, beach cruisers, and small storefronts set a relaxed, design-forward pace. Architectural cues lean toward coastal cottages and contemporary beach homes with deep porches and metal roofs. Gulf views and rare coastal dune lakes shape daily rhythms, with boardwalks and trailheads threading through scrub and sand. Community pillars include The REP Theatre in Seaside, the open-air E.O. Wilson Park, and the long-running Grayton Beer Company taproom.
