Fall Journey to Rosemary Beach

After the summer heat, fall brings some much-needed respite. Aside from the benefits of cooler temperatures, fall offers fewer crowds, lower prices, and a flurry of festivals. The scenic community of Rosemary Beach in Florida’s Walton County is a long-time fall favorite, offering vacationers an excellent getaway experience. Here’s are some fun things to do in Rosemary Beach this fall. 

Fall Journey to Rosemary Beach

Fall is the festival season in Rosemary Beach and its environs, with numerous festivities planned over the three months. The Baytowne Beer Festival is a two-day event in October and brings together over 40 brewers who showcase almost 200 local and international craft beers. If you’re a food enthusiast, the Destin Seafood Festival in Destin Harbor is about 45 minutes from Rosemary Beach and offers tasty seafood menus from local vendors and restaurants. Once November swings around, the Harvest Wine & Food Festival features unique wines from across the globe alongside exemplary culinary delights. Other fall festivals worth exploring include the Watercolor Film Festival, the Seeing Red Wine Festival, and the Festival of the Arts at the end of October. 

Head Out for a Swim

Even though the summer heat is long gone, fall in Rosemary Beach is still warm enough to enjoy a delightful dip in the Gulf. The Beach offers nearly half a mile of pristine, white sands, making it a swimming haven even in the fall. The best part is the summer crowds are gone, offering a stress-free swimming session. 

Check Out The Blue Giraffe

If you’re an art lover, The Blue Giraffe is the ultimate go-to in Rosemary Beach. This upscale shopping area lies east of the famous Highway 30A and features beautiful galleries specializing in different types of artwork. The galleries typically focus on folk art, fine art, eclectic styles, or contemporary art, each offering its distinct style. You can explore options such as Adaro Art & Design Gallery, Artists at Gulf Place, Andy Saczynski Studio Gallery, or Big Mama’s Hula Girl Gallery.  

Check Out Deer Lake State Park

Deer Lake State Park blends a lush landscape, a unique coastal dune lake, and a gorgeous beach, making it a must-see in Rosemary Beach. The park hosts several plant species, including woody goldenrod, southern magnolias, scrub oaks, and golden asters. Many species of local and migratory butterflies and birds frequent the park, offering breathtaking views. The park’s boardwalk cuts across the dunes, offering easy access to the coast side to enjoy a picnic, swim, or test your angling skills. The boardwalk also gives vacationers a spectacular view of the local dune ecosystem. 

Plan a Hike

Rosemary Beach lies next to some of the Floridian coast’s best hiking trails. Grayton Beach Nature Trail, Topsail Hill Deer Track Trail, and Eastern Lake Trail: Yellow Trail all offer an easy hiking experience for beginners. Eastern Lake Trail: Yellow, Red, & Orange Loops and Longleaf Greenway feature multi-hour routes that will test your hiking skills. Watercolor & Seaside Trails Loop and Western Lake Trail offer mesmerizing views of the Floridian coast and make for an ideal day out for snapping a few pictures.
