About location

Built around coastal communities linked by County Road 30A, Santa Rosa Beach grew into a broad beach destination on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Its shoreline meets the Gulf of Mexico through a belt of pale sand and dune vegetation, while low-rise resort and residential areas extend behind the beach. This part of South Walton includes planned communities whose streets, porches and public spaces reflect a deliberate coastal design. Nearby Seaside became an influential early example of New Urbanism, designed in the early 1980s by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. Seaside also served as the setting for the fictional town of Seahaven in the 1998 film The Truman Show. The Gulf and County Road 30A shape the area’s beaches, restaurants and small businesses.

City Santa Rosa Beach

Santa Rosa Beach lies along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where white quartz sand meets the Gulf of Mexico and rare coastal dune lakes sit behind the shore. The community is part of South Walton, a stretch of 30A known for low-rise beach neighborhoods, public access points and protected coastal habitats. Point Washington State Forest preserves longleaf-pine flatwoods and wetlands inland, while nearby Eden Gardens State Park centres on the Wesley House, built in 1897. The shoreline’s pale sand originates from Appalachian quartz carried south over millennia. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Santa Rosa Beach and Florida’s Emerald Coast.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
