Alys Beach six miles east of Seaside on Scenic Highway 30A, is a striking New Urban community on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Its gleaming white homes, inspired by Bermuda and Moorish design, are paired with lush landscaping, rooftop terraces, and walkable plazas. Thoughtful planning merges art, architecture, and nature, creating a serene yet sophisticated coastal village.
LIFESTYLE AND LOCAL FLAVOR
Life in Alys Beach revolves around walkability, gathering spaces, and the outdoors. Residents and visitors stroll or bike to the Gulf in minutes, pass through pocket parks shaded by palms, or unwind in the 20-acre nature preserve tucked into the community. At the heart of town is Caliza Pool, a 100-foot infinity saltwater masterpiece with cabanas, lap lanes, a shallow family pool, and an open-air restaurant, setting a resort-style tone. The town center is curated with high-end boutiques, artful dining, and seasonal events, including Digital Graffiti, an internationally recognized projection art festival. Families enjoy the amphitheater and Central Park, where concerts, movies, and community events are part of the rhythm of life.
