Santa Rosa Beach is located just ten miles east of Destin in Florida’s Emerald Coast. Santa Rosa Beach includes many of the smaller beach communities between Seaside and Sandestin. On the beach the white sands fade into the deep blue-green Gulf of Mexico. To enjoy a day out on the Gulf, in the Choctawhatchee Bay, or in a bayou there are many different types of watercraft, from sailboats to jet skis, available for rental near Santa Rosa. The vacationing angler will love the fact that nearby Destin is home to the largest charter fishing fleet in the state. If you are interested in learning the history of the area and exploring the natural wildlife, then head over to Eden State Gardens and Point Washington State Forest. Eden State Gardens houses one of the best preserved mansions in the south and Point Washington State Forest has dozens of nature trails to explore. Up for a little shopping after seeing the sites? Head to The Market at Sandestin, where you will find everything from souvenirs to expensive art galleries. All these activities make Santa Rosa Beach a wonderful place to vacation along the Emerald Coast of Florida.
