An Overview of Santa Rosa Beach FL

Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, located between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, is a historic beachfront community well worth any visit to the Florida Panhandle region. Located along US Highway 98 both north and south and bordered by Sandestin on the west and US Highway 331 to the east, this quiet community has benefitted from hotels and beach house rentals over the past few decades.

With a population of around 11,457 people per the 2010 census, this community is perfect for beach fans, fishing enthusiasts, golfers, and anyone looking to enjoy a Florida beach with a few less crowds than are found further down the peninsula.

There are public tee times at the Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club, perfect for public players who are okay with being limited to practice prior to play. Created in 1969, there are 18 holes with a par 72 course that wind right up to the Gulf of Mexico. Believe it or not, there are elevation changes to experience as well.
