As you stroll along the footpaths in Rosemary Beach, named for the native species of rosemary herb that lines our sand paths and can be found throughout our town, you will discover some delightful surprises…

Rosemary Beach made a commitment to protect the environment by not building beyond the coastal construction control line, or buffer zone, landward of the beach. In keeping with that commitment, nine dune walkovers have been built providing residents and guests beach access. These walkovers protect the fragile dune system and prevent erosion and washout during storms. The walkovers are unobtrusive, simple and functional, with each walkover containing showers. Two of the walkovers are wheelchair accessible and contain restrooms. |

In the northwest corner of Rosemary Beach, at West Kingston, is the inviting Butterfly Garden. This garden was conceived as a display garden that would emphasize the significance of the native landscape. A wooden walkway weaves through colorful plantings that lure butterflies. |

Common “green” areas are located throughout Rosemary Beach and provide places for reading, games, picnics and barefoot strolls as well as outdoor events.
These areas south of Hwy. 30-A include South Barrett Square, Playground Park and Western & Eastern Greens where many fun events take place such as movie nights and block parties.
On the north side of town there is East Long Green Park (featuring the Knot Garden) and West Long Green Park, both with tree-lined sidewalks leading cyclists along the 30-A bicycle trail. North Barrett Square features a picturesque fountain. St. Augustine Park has an interactive children's fountain, inviting benches and is the location of many cultural events such as ballet performances and concerts. The north side of Rosemary Beach also features the Butterfly Park plus various quaint "pocket parks" with fountains, shaded seating areas and arbors.
