America's Antigua-Style Gulf Front Treasure
From the moment one views the iconic butteries and towering palms lining the center of our beach town, there is an unrivaled sense of escape. Alys Beach is carefully crafted to celebrate the public realm of streets, parks, pedestrian paths, and great civic buildings in a manner reminiscent of the world’s most beloved seaside towns. Its potential to become the world's model "new urbanism" community is on the horizon.
In recognition of the strong draw of the sea, our streets orient to the beach, guaranteeing views to the Gulf and cooling sea breezes. Alys Beach is a groundbreaking community located along the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s panhandle coast, six miles east of Seaside on Scenic Highway 30A.
Planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, Alys Beach is a Traditional Neighborhood Development whose architectural vision has its roots in the style of Bermuda architecture and in the courtyards of Antigua, Guatemala, the colonial capital of Central America.
Set along the Beaches of South Walton, one has the ability to experience the diversity in architecture, style and affluence along 26 miles of America's purest beaches. Navigating around Alys Beach or from beach community to beach community is as simple as life was 50 years ago and after all, that's the true measure of a vacation getaway!
