Sunshine on 30A: Rosemary Beach

Now it's time for my second favorite 30A vacation spot: Rosemary Beach. Rosemary has a very European feel with streets made of brick and cobblestone. The town was founded by Guy Chesterfield Sr. in 1995. Rosemary is close to 105 acres and at the time of its creation featured 500 homesites. Rosemary provides a family-friendly atmosphere. The design of the town features many open grass courtyards for children to play. As well as, some of the best restaurants on 30A.

This grass area opens right up to the beach. There are benches lining either side of the courtyard, which are perfect for people watching. During the summer, Rosemary has a movie on the lawn once a week, which is a great activity for the whole family.

George's at Aly's Beach
George's offers some of the best food in Rosemary Beach by far. I actually had the privilege of working at it's sister restaurant just down the road a couple of summers ago. One night, we took a trip to George's for dinner and it was an incredible experience. At night, the entire restaurant is lit up by candles on the patio. The food is gourmet and delicious.

Sugar Shak
Ready to induce a sugar coma? Well, Sugar Shak is the place for you. Since Rosemary Beach is such a kid friendly place, it only makes sense to have an ice cream and candy store. Sugar Shak is a famous spot for adults and kiddos alike.

La Crema Tapas & Chocolate
It may be a girl thing, but I mean who doesn't love fondue? Gentlemen, if you ever find yourself in Rosemary Beach, I promise you can't go wrong with taking your date to La Crema. I mean what girl doesn't love strawberries and cheesecake dipped in peanut butter and milk chocolate?

 I mean come on, it's beautiful…and delicious….Just trust me.

30A Farmer's Market at Rosemary Beach
The farmer's market takes place in the open square at Rosemary Beach every Sunday year round. It's a great place to try some farmer fresh veggies and load up on groceries during your visit. I mean what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon in paradise?

Trust me when I say, you do not want to miss out on this place. I hope you remember a couple of these places if you ever find yourself in Rosemary.
