November 26, 2026 | Beginning at 7:30 AM | Rosemary Beach
Thanksgiving morning in Rosemary Beach comes with a tradition of its own.
The 15th annual 30A Thanksgiving Day Races bring residents and visitors together for a 10K, 5K, and one-mile fun run.
The event supports local nonprofit organizations and concludes with an awards ceremony and post-race celebration in Barrett Square.
Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, it's a festive way to begin Thanksgiving along the coast.
There's a reason so many people fall in love with Rosemary Beach long after their first summer vacation.
It's the peaceful morning walks, the inviting restaurants, the beautiful architecture, and the ease of having so much to enjoy within the community.
During fall, these everyday pleasures are complemented by meaningful local traditions and seasonal gatherings.
For those considering a second home or permanent residence, visiting during different seasons offers a wonderful perspective on what life here can truly feel like.
After helping buyers and sellers along 30A for nearly three decades, I've learned that finding the right home is about much more than the property itself. It's about discovering a community and a lifestyle you love.
Imagine spending fall mornings walking to the farmers market, afternoons along the Gulf, and evenings entertaining friends in your own private courtyard.
One beautiful opportunity to enjoy this lifestyle is 270 E Water Street in Rosemary Beach, currently offered through Linda Miller Real Estate.
This four-bedroom coastal residence features a private courtyard with a heated pool and hot tub, an outdoor fireplace, generous covered outdoor living space, and a charming carriage house.
Offered at $4,900,000, it's a wonderful example of the architecture and indoor-outdoor living that make Rosemary Beach so desirable.
Whether you're searching for a vacation retreat, a year-round residence, or an investment along Scenic Highway 30A, my team and I would love to help you find the perfect fit.
Because on 30A, every season offers something to smile about.
