santa rosa beach

Using Google Maps, the address listed for Santa Rosa Beach led us to a dirt road in the middle of nowhere.... Fortunately we traveled a few blocks further down Highway 30 and found Topsail Hill State Park and the beautiful white sand beach!

We came from CA and have traveled all over, but these beaches (when we have great weather) are truly the best we have ever visited. The sand is clean, the towns are clean, the restaurants are great. We feel safe letting our kids roam around unaccompanied, so we love coming here. Destin has a huge mall with a movie theatre so we take our teenagers there to hang out when they want to do something. We love it here. We used to go to Mexico but no longer! This is our new favorite beach spot.

We stayed at Topsail Hill State Park for a month and got to see the area in and around Santa Rosa Beach. 30A, the "strip" is an enjoyable area to visit. Nice shops and galleries. Good food. Friendly people. We traveled the area, from Panama City to Gulf Breeze. Much to see and do. The ocean is beautiful in this area and the sands pure white and soft. We liked our visit here so much that we are considering buying property here!

Having read that Panama City is home of "The Most Beautiful Beaches", I was anxious to visit the area beaches. It was a cool day (for the beach) and quite windy but it was a perfect day to visit Santa Rosa Beach. When I arrived,'it was about 8 people there and most were walking to their cars. I had the good fortune to have the beach to myself... I fell in love with this beautiful and Serene beach... The sand is so white and pure that it looks like newly driven snow... Simply spectacular... I think I have found my new favorite beach. I could come here every spring...

I live in Santa Rosa Beach and love it! I don't think I could ever leave! Beautiful beaches with white sand and emerald waters...

We are in love with the beachy comunities on 30a. We rode bikes and left our car parked. Seaside was very fun and interesting. Thanks to Sunny Days Bikes we were able to enjoy all the scenery from our bikes. We will return to Santa Rosa Beach for years to come.

Plenty of access to the beach but not on the beach the water and sand will keep you in thought for hours

We are here for the first time, what a beautiful place, lot to do and see, look forward to our week here, beach is soft white sand for as far as you can see, love this place already

Visited the beach from Topsail Hill Preserve. (Beautiful dunes there also) The beach allows for wonderful long romantic walks and/or enjoying family time playing in the surf and sand. Of course, you can just sit and enjoy God's creation!

My son found a star fish on the beach. We enjoyed our winter walk on the beach! Didn't realize how refreshing a walk could be when it's not so hot!

My first visit to 30A - I am a loyal fan of the OBX. Now I understand why so many people love this beach. The sand and water color is stunning. A truly beautiful place. With a January visit, we didn't deal with crowds, so still wondering what the peak season is like....

The beach is great this time of year with so few people. We loved going for a walk there. The sand is white and beautiful. The access points have plenty of parking for everyone. It was never a problem to find parking. A wonderful time of year to be on the beach.

This beach is carefully groomed each morning and is clean, quiet with a few walkers at this time of the year.

We were at the beach for a bonfire in the evening and a wedding the next day. The beach was sandy white and pristine, and just gorgeous. If you are a beach bum, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Beautiful clean beach with great amenities. Shops nearby with nice art but they are rather expensive.
