This restaurant has amazing food and views. Not only are you on the beach with amazing views, you can sit inside in the air conditioning and look out at the gulf! The food is a little more expensive $$$, but you are paying for excellent service, amazing seafood food, gulf views, and AIR CONDITIONING! They have a deck we’re you can sit outside and a walkway to the beach. We love this place. We recently ate then walked outside and watched a fabulous sunset. ❤️

The Whale's Tail is one of our favorite breakfast spots. If you get there around 8 am-ish, you can always get a table overlooking the beautiful gulf. The prices are very reasonable and the food is great. You can stay and play on the gorgeous beach. We have never encountered an issue with parking.

Santa Rosa is truly beautiful and peaceful. A great family vacation spot. They have a picnic area before you descend the stairs to the beach. Not a lot of parking so get there early. The beach didn't feel crowded at all. Nothing like when we go to Destin, Panama City, or Gulf Shores at the same time of year. Outdoor showers for getting off the sand are located by the public restrooms. The beaches were very clean. By far the cleanest public beach I have been to on the gulf coast.

Beautiful beach with clear water and gorgeous sand. Had clean restrooms and a hose to clean off with at the top of the hill. Is not handicap accessible (stairs only) and is not very public friendly with extremely limited parking. We saw cops patrolling and ticketing persons not parking in designated spots. Be sure to arrive early to find parking!

This beach by far has to be one of our favorites. We don't like big party crowds. This beach was a lot calmer and more family-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking to truly relax on a beautiful beach.

Leave early!
If you are traveling toward Destin or Panama City, the traffic gets heavy the later it gets. What can be a 20-minute drive can turn into an hour quickly.
