History of Rosemary Beach:
Founded in 1995 by the Rosemary Beach Land Company, the vision of the 107-acre community was a combination of new urbanism, which was exploding, coupled with the traditional design of a walkable neighborhood. The inspiration for planning came from the notions of community charm, knowing thy neighbor and pure convenience in a local market, proximity to the beach, or quickly grabbing a bite out. All while leaving the car at home.
