The development of 30a from a collection of small beach communities to relaxing rural beach retreats with all the amenities began with the founding of the New Urbanism town of Seaside.
Thirty-A became the epicenter of the New Urbanism movement with master-planned communities beginning with Seaside and then Rosemary Beach to the East. Each with its own distinct look and feel through architectural design constraints and requirements.
Next came the communities of Watercolor, Town of WaterSound and Alys Beach as major communities continuing in the New Urbanism style of walkable communities with dining & shopping, entertainment venues, sporting venues, trails, parks and ponds.
Along side the major New Urbanism communities, many more planned communities and all the traditional neighborhoods that were originally here have developed to create a unique patchwork contributing to the eclectic architectural world the 30a has become.
We are aiming to be your complete guide to the Architects & Architecture along Scenic Highway 30a in southern Walton County, FL. Welcome to the beach!
