Santa Rosa Beach, one of the 13 communities located in the Beaches of South Walton, is best known for its quiet, wide stretches of nationally renowned beach, a Caribbean-style artist colony and nature trails. It is also known for its superb shopping. The upscale Gulf Place Town Center has charming local artists huts, park benches, and lush plantings to complement its commanding location overlooking the emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It has all the elements that make a small town's downtown special. There is on-street parking directly in front of the retail stores, tree-lined streets, sidewalks and footpaths, as well as a luscious two-acre amphitheater for community events and weddings.
