Tucked away in North Florida on pillow-puff sand dunes sits Rosemary Beach, a New Urbanist community facing the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. A web of artfully landscaped footpaths and boardwalks weave through a town center surrounded by charming beach rental cottages, each with its own patio or porch just steps from the next, prompting interaction with neighboring visitors. Young ones love the emerald-green lawns scattered around the neighborhood, and Camp Rosemary organizes nighttime events for kids so adults can sip chardonnay in peace. rosemarybeach.com
