Alys Beach

A seaside community of pure white Bermuda-style buildings, dubbed “America's Santorini,” and popular for photos.

Alys Beach is a planned community built in the 2000s. All its buildings share white stucco walls, Bermuda-style stepped roofs and courtyards, inspired by Antigua and Bermuda. Against the blue sky they stand out, making it the most popular photo spot on 30A. The community has a few boutique restaurants and cafés. Public beach access is limited, so most visitors stroll from the central square to admire the architecture. It lies about 1 km west of Rosemary Beach and can be linked by walking or cycling.
